Sure we can waste money but ALL funding for NASA is controlled by Congress. If they decide to spend money then it happens. They haven't decided to mostly because they are all short sighted looking to the next election and the payoff is longer. Have you written to your Congressman asking for what you want? I'll bet you haven't.
What technology advancement are you talking about? Computers? How many megabytes does it take to get to orbit? Rocket tech is largely the same and still requiring massive expensive rockets.
Quoting: Weasel_Turbine Waste money? Are you shitting me? I wasn't kidding about the 2 trillion dollars you know. 2 trillion. Gone. Poof! Oh well, nothing to see here, GONE! If you're referring the to the 2 trillion that COULDN'T BE TRACKED because of multiple different systems, that wasn't gone. They had multiple accounting sstems that were incompatible with each other. They admitted it and commenced work on fixing it. As far as advancements I'm not just talking on board computers, I'm talking about every aspect. Automated Machining processes, Manufacturing, Materials and equipment advancement, Engineering, Testing and measuring, Communication tech, video tech, and where do you want me to stop?
All this and you don't think the industry could shit out a module and an Apollo rocket in half the time with greater quality and control? Quoting: Truthache They still have to design it, build the infrastructure, build it, test it, refine it, etc. It is still expensive and the greatest expense is the rocket tech that is still largely the same. As far as funding is concerned, the fact is they wouldn't even have to front the expense. All congress REALLY has to do is issue partial support of a massive world funded prize upon completion- say $250 billion or so- for the successful manned mission which meets certain goals.
Imagine the effort it would produce.
Just give the program a catchy name, have the government step aside, and watch it happen the way things are supposed to. Quoting: Truthache Then tell congress that. I'll bet you haven't. And you still run into the problem that the payoff is not during their current term. Few politicians want to allocate money for something that is unlikely to benefit them. Anyone that says it can't happen has a conflicting agenda.
Quoting: Truthache How convenient. Anyone that disagrees with you must have an agenda. Tell Congress.  So it could be done then but not now. Just say it. Why? That isn't true. It can be done anytime. You just have to have the political will to do so. We had it then. We don't have it now.
