NASA Mars rover Opportunity finding more evidence of water on the Red Planet!

You mean like the Lunar Rover? Dumbass. [link to en.wikipedia.org]

Jesus, it's like some people on this board never had elementary education.

I get the distinct impression a lot were homeschooled, which can be a great thing, but also an incredibly awful thing if their parents or guardians didn't really give a shit.

They're in the Sahara Desert.

I'm not saying that, nor have I ever in any of my threads, if you've cared to read back, smart guy/woman. I'm just posting a thread. Don't be too quick to pass judgement. Thanks. :)<3 :hf:

Edited for break between ":)<3" and " "

NASA sets guidelines for Apollo moon landing sites

Uh, well I think NASA is requesting other nations to respect these sites. They dont own it, afterall. And as long as they arent sitting on a few tons of diamonds, or some other rare valuable element, I am sure they will be respected....

The moon is big enough for everyone, right? No need to "set guidelines" is there?

Thus begs the question, why do it to begin with? No other nation has done such, but I understand why the importance of the landing sites are expected to be, not admired, but respected. It's part of our mark of being, not just a physical, but a scientific power. I think that's important to people, like me, who are not white, but still commend, as an American citizen.

Yes, there is. Right now there's an X prize to the first private group that manages to get a probe to the moon. If I recall right, there's a special bonus if you return pictures of Apollo. They don't want anyone trampling the sites, particularly the first and last since they're of particular historical value. Space tourism isn't far off with SpaceX rapidly coming online and will soon have a manned vehicle flying as well. Ideas are already being tossed around for a version of Dragon that could do a circumlunar flight.

Oh my!, the tourist hordes. I get it now..

Well that does it! We need another manned flight to the moon to build a friggin' fence!

Or, Palestine.

The possibility of us still not knowing everything about our homeworld is 100%.

It's not about learning everything, it's about getting the best bang for your buck.
There might be life on Mars, finding life is pretty much NASA's wet dream.
Spending money on taking closer looks at Mars is considered a lot more important then taking more looks at a place that is a lifeless desert.

I'd be willing to settle on how those pyramids got on earth.

because that's against the liberal propoganda that it takes a union teacher to actually teach instead of claiming it's not their job for $23 an hour. So sick of the float to the middle and do nothing liberals.
