When the jews blasted him the corporations usurped the space program and it quickly became none of your business. [/quote] :ufo56: [/quote]

Deep space = beyond High Earth Orbit ~ 22,000 miles . . .
Why have we not returned humans to deeper space or to the moon since 1972?
1) It is too expensive . . .?
2) It is too dangerous . . .?
3) We were warned or told not to return . . . ?
4) There is a secret space program . . . and we have already done so?
5) Good question but there is no satisfactory answer . . . ?
6) I don't have the slightest idea . . .?
7) It is none of our business . . .?
8) There is no compelling scientific reason to do so . . .
9) Number one, number two, and eight above . . .
10) Unmammed missions are simply more efficient . . .
11) Other . . . please post your response . . .
12) There is no reason for man to ever venture into deep space . . .

Endorsement. Space professionals and enthusiasts have had a powerful desire to return to the Moon since the last Apollo astronaut left there in 1972. The Bush call for exploration of the Moon and Mars was the boldest space goal since President Kennedy called in 1961 for sending astronauts to the Moon. That goal was accomplished with six manned flights between 1969-1972.
A new cheaper, simpler human transport spacecraft – known as the crew exploration vehicle – would replace the shuttle. The CEV, which would be something like the old Apollo capsules, would have its first unmanned flight test in 2008 and be ready to take astronauts to the Moon by 2015.
