  • Welfare?

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • Student loans not paid back and welfare.

    Looks like it has been scrubbed for today. Another Obammy failure since he decimated NASA for social programs like Obammy phones and EBT cards.

    If only there was a portion of our govt we were spending an obscene amount of money on. An area we completely outspend every other country in. That would help fund NASA for sure...

    Well of course we could trade defense for NASA. Still without our current position of power on the world stage we need to find somewhere to colonize.

    It already is up through grade 12. And still look at all the functional illiteracy there is. I say spend the money on more police and throw people in jail that don't study hard enough. How's that sound? Mandatory education requirements or slave labor!

    Win win.

  • Yep, I watched that live today - pleasantly surprised that it took off at 7:05, when they said chances were '40%' of a launch today.

  • It went up and came back down so a successful test launch

  • Why not colonize the moon first? just saying.

  • Nothing of value there I imagine. Why colonize a wasteland? Probably lots of valuable stuff on Mars.

    Actually, I'd bet one of the first things we do to the moon is start mining it.

  • I'll bet Mars is more valuable.

    In the very long term - yes. However, the moon's much closer, and therefore cheaper to traffic things back to Earth, so you can bet that the moon will be the location of the first extraterrestrial base.

    Can't argue with that. If they have crafts that can land and take off again without being launched the moon would make a handy waystation.

  • Well, I prefer an asteroid traveling in our immediate part of our solar system,

    so we could mine it for rare earth minerals, and cool gems, then when

    the asteroid orbits around closer to earth, all they would have to do is

    shoot it to the earth.

    I should have been a scientist...

    But seriously, the mars rover, I read, has found indications of a lake.......

    we need some amazing, futuristic propulsion system that can warp ten.

    Like, at least half of light speed. Which about 186,000 something per second. Feet or yards....

    I think it was.

  • Why not use the moon as the testing ground for all the techology that will be needed to colonize Mars. How do we even know we

    have the basic power systems needed to do it? Think of all the questions about radiation traveling to and from Mars. This will have

    to be an international effort. All the best minds on earth will have to come together for this to happen.......just like in the movies.

    Traveling to Mars and back does not to be a suicide mission. Would you want be on that first flight?

    I'm sure that NASA has the expertise to make it happen.

    the top 10 centimetres of regolith (moon soil) at the south pole of the moon appears to hold about 100 times the concentration of gold of the richest mines in the world,
