human corpses underwater :) bye bye
we should have ... ( 4 months ago by LETHLSS)
we should have already had a lab on the moon, yrs ago. way too long a gap in the last walk on the moon, and next one. and that space bus with wings is long over due for the scrap heap. we should already be preparing for a manned Mars mission. but sadly that probably won't happen in my lifetime.

we never went to the moon, a little while ago when nasa announced another moon trip they asked for 12 years. okay, well how'd they do it in 10 during the 60s??
they had a huge ... ( 4 months ago by kevinbocking)
they had a huge chunk of the economy for NASA in the 60s. We could go to the Moon now, its simply a lack of funds to do it.
The final frontier. ... ( 4 months ago by eddiesteele)
The final frontier. The Apollo program was a human spaceflight program undertaken by NASA during the years 1961 -- 1975 with the goal of conducting manned moon landing missions. President John F. Kennedy announced this goal in 1961, and it was accomplished on July 20, 1969 by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin during the Apollo 11 mission. Five other Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon, the last in 1972. These six flights are the only times humans have landed on another world.
the latest robot ... ( 4 months ago by zueq)
the latest robot which landed on mars cost around 430 Million dollars...the world is starving because of lack of funds and food and suffering from tornadoes and earthquakes and 430 Millions would make a difference and help the poor...
Cold war rush to ... ( 4 months ago by Ezmarii)
Cold war rush to beat the russians. A much larger % of the country's budget was appropriated back then. Also, the amount of safety measures incorporated were next to non-existant compared to what we expect, and what we're capable of. Safety is the big issue, which means more testing and more money than last time. The skin of thelunar capsule that landed on the moon is compareable to the thickness of aluminium foil you have in your kitchen. Yeah, real safe there. =)

It might be expensive but isn't it worth doing for it's own sake- to push the human race forward?

I've got to agree.There are so many things in everyday life that came about because of space exploration,it's amazing.If we got the hell out of Iraq, we'd have plenty of money for a lot of things.
Yes I agree my dear ... ( 4 months ago by zueq)
Yes I agree my dear but I guess nowadays there are more Important issues to concentrate on.
None of it will ... ( 4 months ago by EllipticalMobile)
None of it will matter if we are not off the planet when the next big rock hits. All the stuff you refer to will be as a gnat on an elephants ass compared to what will happen then.

You don't ... ( 4 months ago by CavallinoSilver)
You don't understand the importance of space exploration. The goal is to colonize it. Mars particularly, but first at least we must return to the moon. What good will it be to cure cancer if the resources in this planet are already running out? Yes other things are important too but space exp is a life or death issue in the long run.
Helping the poor is ... ( 4 months ago by CavallinoSilver)
Helping the poor is important but space exploration is vital to our long term survival. And that is to all of us, rich, poor, everyone.
