All bullshit aside, space exploration is a pretty major thing we were pretty good at. Sucks that NASA as we know it is coming to an end. I hope there are some private organizations out there that are serious about space. |

Cassie :-) (OP) User ID: 664295 United States 07/21/2011 03:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is in the works... What's next for NASA: A new space shuttle? With Discovery's retirement, this year marks a turning point in NASA's history. At the end of the year, the familiar orca-like space shuttle will depart from the public eye as NASA looks to create something that can take a person deeper into space than ever before. Last year, Obama lit the fuse for NASA's blastoff into the post-shuttle world with a renewed commitment to explore deep-space destinations (like Mars) and to create jobs in the process. With a $6 billion budget over the next five years -- on top of $50 million worth of NASA contracts awarded to commercial companies like Boeing -- we should expect great things. Here are some of the projects in the works: Orion Spacecraft First announced by President Bush in 2004 as the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) for President Bush's Project Constellation, the Orion spacecraft will carry an astronaut back to the moon. Bush's original goal was for a 2015 lunar landing, but because of program reviews under the Obama administration, Orion is scheduled to make its first launch into Earth's orbit without passengers in 2014 -- a mission to the moon would likely happen five years later. Designed by Lockheed Martin for NASA, the spacecraft very much resembles the familiar Apollo spacecrafts that carried man to the moon nearly 50 years ago and can carry a crew of four astronauts.

It's history..... Literally! Please suggest a pin for others that want to witness it. De-orbit Burn 1 hour and 30 Minutes from now. ____________________ This is another option a Space Plane. Boeing X-37B Space Plane Though not technically a NASA project and not technically a future project -- the Air Force is in charge of this one and the space plane launched on March 5 -- the Boeing X-37B is straight out of science fiction. Following the X-37A, this futuristic project looks like a space shuttle but is completely unmanned. The robotic plane can fly at supersonic speeds in low Earth orbit and allegedly tests new space technology. As it is a military project, many details of the X-37B are classified, and some believe it's being developed as a weapon. The Pentagon denies this.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1476218 Croatia 07/21/2011 04:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The U.S. shuttle Atlantis will on Thursday make its final landing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, completing NASA's 30-year Space Shuttle program. The landing is scheduled for just before 6 a.m. local time (10:00 GMT). Atlantis lifted off on its final flight on July 8 to deliver cargo and equipment to the International Space Station (ISS). It undocked from the station on Tuesday. Once the U.S. shuttle fleet is retired after the end of the current Atlantis mission to the orbital station, Russia's Soyuz and Progress spacecraft will take the bulk of crew rotation and cargo missions to the ISS until at least the middle of the decade. Russia has signed a number of contracts with NASA on the delivery of U.S. astronauts to the ISS until 2016. NASA is paying its Russian counterpart Roscosmos more than $1 billion for crew transport services over the next four years. Future Expeditions - [link to www.nasa.gov] |
