Bush mulls major new space effort

[Whoha]

and what have we done with it?

Our situation right now parallels that of China in the 14th,15th century. They had the ships, they had the people, they had the resources, but their bureaucrats forbade them to travel outside of china. And it has taken them this long to climb out of making that mistake.

Will they really land on the moon this time?

[Whoha]

Heh, you've never seen the feather and the hammer drop have you BeBro?

[The Mad Monk]

We really need to get off this rock.

space is a waste of money.

what kind of conservative is he? He is spending all our money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ned]

Finally!

I NEVER could understand why we stopped exploring the moon or why we never planned to explore Mars. We had the rockets and the infrastruture primed to do both. Then we killed these missions in order to build a space truck that has turned out to be a garbage truck.

I say we pull the plug on the space station and the shuttle and focus on a Moon base and exploration of Mars.

In fact, why don't we sell the space station to the Europeans? They love projects that have no ambition.

mars is impossible with current technology.

So what?

We are among the most resourceful and inventive people in history. We can do the impossible if asked.

Republicans lamblast democrats for frivilous spending yet....
There are sooo many better things Bush could be spending money on But as someone already said...At least it's not going to bombing Middle East countries

[Dis]

@Ned
Do you really believe that the international space station belongs only to the US?

[Eli]

Ugh.

Just promise a 10 billion dollars prize to the first private company who builds a base on the moon and succesfully mans it with 5 people for 6 months.
It will be 10 times less expensive and more worthwhile than having NASA do it.

All talk, no walk.

ah space....i love space....but until a new revolution in rocketpropulsion we will be mostly stuck on this dirt ball...and for the record all the IMPORTENT parts of the ISS is made by ESA ....but it has to be transferred up there by space shuttle...

[DeathByTheSword]
