Ares 1-X on the pad and CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF!!!

John F. Kerry · 10-20-2009, 09:12 AM

FUCK YEA MAN THIS IS SO COOL!!

the first new spacecraft in 30 years from America.

the first craft other than a space shuttle launching from kennedy space center since the 70s...

cutting edge tech and 21st century materials in a brand new rocket thats ready to go and take us to the ISS safely and reliably, and in a few more years will be ready to take us to the moon to start building the IMB. (international moon base).

HORRAY THE FUTURE LOOKS GOOD TODAY!
GO NASA!!!

doesnt that rocket look cool? its like a mix of new and old school apollo prog style!

verklingen · 10-20-2009, 10:55 AM

dont you realize the reason we can have a moonbase is because people dont have healthcare?

José · 10-20-2009, 11:36 AM

man, 100 years ago yo momma wouldn't have been complainin' about healthcare. if we woulda been goin' to tha mooon 100 years ago I'm sure they woulda been glad not to have healthcare instead of going to tha mooooooon. alright im done.

I'm kind of tired of nasa wasting billions and not really doing a whole lot. They keep blowing shit up by accident (and on purpose). I just think that with all the money they've spent they could have done a lot more by now. I somehow think their real job is to inform their employers (the gov) and not us. We just get trickle down information like "Oh there MAY have been water on mars" or "Eclipse tonight! Get your boxes ready!"

Lloydy · 10-20-2009, 11:46 AM

will the moon have healthcare?

not only how much MONEY they've spent, money means nothing to us when it comes to universal expansion. It's how much RESOURCES they've used.

Earth might be our only "gas station" within light years of planets with the ability to support human life. We need to be spending our RESOURCES(not money) wisely. Money is only a form of made up value us humans put on it, but resources on the other hand, is irreplaceable.

generic_hippie · 10-20-2009, 01:27 PM

More waste from america.

Actual value of a moon base?

Value not in terms of dollars, but in terms of returns of knowledge to the general population?

A BIG FAT ZERO...

Much wiser choice than supporting the health of the nation...

K10 · 10-20-2009, 02:25 PM

blah, blah, blah......you're being foolish if you think space exploration isn't worthwhile. The health care debate does not need to spill over into everything.

Bearsy · 10-20-2009, 02:46 PM

Guys this is not getting us anywhere closer to having a moon base. The Project Constellation missions won't even be manned until 2014. And the first flight with a purpose other than testing won't happen until 2015. And these dates are IF they're able to stay on schedule. Which NASA is notorious for being unable to do.
Odds are they won't even finish construction on one until the mid to late '30s.

However, GH, you're mistaken when you say the base wouldn't be worth the cost/effort in terms of knowledge and whatnot.

A base in the 1/6th gravity of the moon would be great for science.

Thanksbutton. And I'm down with health care reform.
People say that space exploration needs to be privatized, but really without the government being first to take each major step, odds are we'll stay on the ground for much longer than we need to or could do.

Yeah, sure. It's all fun and games until the Tycho Monolith gets discovered.
