Anything this country that it accomplishes in the future will have to be able to be done in 4 to 8 years or it's not going anywhere.

Quote HistoryQuoted: And you just proved you dont know shit about the current program. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: American exceptionalism is commercial space craft. Not nationalist programs like NASA. There is nothing exceptional about NASA literally wasting billions and billions of dollars. It's a national disgrace. Also worth noting that more money is spent to keep ISS flying than the development costs of SLS, let that sink in. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: WTF is wrong with people who think space exploration is a waste of money? Its probably the BEST INVESTMENT in the future of humanity. There's a whole frikkin' universe out there. It doesn't end at this planet's surface. If we stay on this planet, we're stuck with finite resources. If we get off this planet there are infinite resources. Why is that so hard to understand??? It was a belief that got going in the sixties. That all that money would be better spent on the homeless. Like its a binary proposition. Space travel means homelessness and that getting rid of space exploration would be a panacea for homelessness. The belief fermented throughout the seventies. Becoming a religion for some people. Now it is a widespread belief and as bad as it is in this country. It's worse in other countries. I wouldn't be too shocked if Rocket Lab's facilities in New Zealand get invaded and looted by an angry mob stirred up by left wing activists in that country. The joke being that investing in space could be the ultimate treatment for poverty on this planet. Lunar colonization, asteroid mining and power satellites would utterly transform the global economy. Ushering in an age of previously unimaginable abundance. But the powers that be want Neo-Feudalism. You can't have neo-feudalism if humanity is expanding out into the universe with abundant cheap solar energy. |

Super heavy will exist soon enough. I hope you can see through your SpaceX pride the differences between SN11 and a dragon capsule, let alone Orion. SpaceX is moving forward, but they are still a good ways out from a ready to launch people platform. They still dont have a launch pad for this rocket, its in work. SLS has all the pieces ready to go, with follow on mods in work to meet the program goals. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Announcers seem unconcerned also. Seems to be a good test so far. With the ship sitting static airflow around it creates a low pressure in the center area which sucks up heat and as we saw the fire there. Shuttle ET would burn in flight, this thing sitting still was even worse for cooling air there. |

I am excited at all the space development. I am old enough to remember the last Apollo mission on tv, watching Challenger blow while I was in the Air Force. I just wish I was young enough to leave this rock. I grew up reading science fiction and watching 2001 Space Odyssey. I hope Biden doesn't cut budgets to save his communist agenda and welfare state.
