The eagle landed and the chicken laid an egg. Simple fact is the “Bush budget” cut funding for the shuttle replacement vehicle, at the same time he was “calling for a trip to Mars” , his actual actions made it impossible, but hey, who cares about the true hypocrisies?
The biggest limiting factor in space exploration is the insistence on coming back. Magellan is remembered as the first to circle the planet & he didn’t make it. His fleet did. He was killed in the Philippines. Cook was killed in Hawaii. They knew that only word needs to make the return trip. Let’s just go. Word; up.
Why can’t we pay for NASA? .6% goes to NASA, 6 tenths, less then one penny goes to NASA. We waste more then that on coffee and doughnuts. We need vision to get NASA back, the plan all along to let Russia lead us again, we feel in the trap, 25 Million for a ride up to ISS and we are at their mercy. Yea Bush was cutting it but had a replacement X33 went on orbit for 9 months, The Community Organizer wants NASA to cater to Muslims, come one be real, when was the last time Muslims gave us any thing new? 10th 12th century, when they got us Zero, and Azimuth since then————————- you let me know
I see it as cancel most funding for NASA and put it towards research. Multi-billion dollar rocket ships wont push us forward to expanding our reach into space but instead pushing deeper into your pockets. Once further reaching, Fuel effective or fuel-less space transportation designs are abundant you hire waves of engineers to restart program
