NASA Wasting More Money: Sending New Rover To Mars | |
Dr. Acula Senior Forum Moderator  User ID: 55360  United States12/04/2012 05:28 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The plan to design and build a new Mars robotic science rover with a launch in 2020 comes only months after the agency announced InSight, which will launch in 2016, bringing a total of seven NASA missions operating or being planned to study and explore our Earth-like neighbor. The 2020 mission will constitute another step toward being responsive to high-priority science goals and the president's challenge of sending humans to Mars orbit in the 2030s." [link to www.nasa.gov] More tax dollars wasted... I'm all for space exploration! But do we NEED another mars mission?! Come on! Do something useful with our tax dollars! Come up with a colony or ship that can save the species if the GLP Effect quits working and we become truly doomed.. Last Edited by Dr. Acula on 12/04/2012 05:36 PM _______________________  |

But I mean, we have so much to be grateful for from all those nerds. I would rather my tax dollars be spent on the advancement of mankind, than Obamas mindless drones on welfare. But that's another topic. Anywho five * Quoting: TheCartel i'll agree more or less lol :) thanks _______________________ |

It creates high-tech jobs here, gets spent here, and we learn things about our universe at a ridiculously low cost, overall. It's about discovery, and we don't know precisely what we'll discover. After all, the electron originally was such a discovery, and was largely considered useless by the pundits of the time. Yet now, look around you: a whole world of electronics. The money for space exploration gets spent right here on Earth. |

Heck its close enough for live broadcast quality real time video telemetry. 1. Either we can't get there and never have gotten there. 2. Something warned us off, never to return if we did once go there. 3. Or something more secretive is taking place on the moon which would be exposed by having a rover up there. |

I've seen our tax dollars at work... Can you honestly tell me what the fuck sending a new mars rover will accomplish? nothing... more shitty photoshoped photos of the arizona desert! Sure the satellite technology for weather and GPS and all that is good and I'm all for it!

| StormeyGoddess User ID: 22004193 United States12/04/2012 11:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yep, you're right! Help the less fortunate. I agree. :-P Oh the irony.  You are soon to be one of them.   You can say whatever you like, look down on me, consider me a lower form of life than yourself, whatever. I am a newly single mother of three...again. My husband walked out on us a couple of months ago. Yes, I applied for food stamps. I also found a job, as I have been a stay at home mom...I'm thanking God that there is assistance available. Sometimes in life, the unexpected happens...and I am taking the steps I need to take to provide for my family. I am not sitting on my ass crying about my situation. So, kiss my ass, babe. Be careful about making judgments, anything can happen to anyone at anytime. You are not so special that you're excluded. "Don't look back, you're not going that way." "As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” |
