2 Amazing Mars Rovers, Brand New Moon/Mars Rockets/ The ISS / The Hubble ST / ...

John F. Kerry · 10-27-2009, 12:45 AM

what an amazing list of things we get from nasa for the tiny 15 billion dollar budget they have...

its just amazing really.

they are sending probes to all corners of the solar sytem, and have rovers roving on mars sending back pics as if we were there now, and they are gonna send an even more sophisticated rover the next cycle..

and the hubble st helped the world realize what it is and where it is in the universe like we never have ben able to at any point in human history....

and we are lauching a new moon rocket today, that will allow us to continue to access our huge ISS thats almost completely built as well...

in short its just amazing all the stuff that nasa does. wouldnt u agree?

its like the best thing in the world, talk about a government program that works (well funded by the gov't at least).

so whats next- beside the ares lauch in a few hours-

-

the JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE

The James Webb Space Telescope

the sequel to Hubble is gonna be insanely amazing check out hte website - its gonna have a mirror like 20 x larger than hubbles that has to be folded like 10 times to fit in a shuttle, and its gonna have sun sails and just look friggen amazing ... and it will surely enlighten us even more than hubble did so that by 2015 after its launched we will likely totaly reevaluate what we are and where we are in the universe once again- as a global species- thanks to science, technology, and nasa. !

dont forget to watch the launch of ares at 8am est.

i believe the reason why nasa gets so much done is because its a science based organizaiton, which i feel makes the heads over there focus alot more on efficiency rather than splendor. im looking at the military spending that gets nothing done and scratching my head
