If he can at least take astronauts to the ISS in 2018 he will be lucky. I would go with the Russians. No risk with Soyuz. FailX meh I came. I saw. I Concorde.

Other than not blowing their rocket up on the pad of course. This is 50 year old technology that presumably North Korea could be close to doing. Who knows, maybe they will get some star pictures this time with all of the advancements in digital photography. We do have the tech now to put the stars exactly where they should be in any real time video. |

You guys will claim it's fake regardless, citing the same debunked claims repeatedly, including the debunked claims about the impossibility of passing the van allen belts. Meanwhile I will use the software I developed to track the spacecraft as it transits between the Earth and Moon, you will claim that is fake as well, you'll call me a shill and shit on the site, maybe even try to dox me, I'll ban you, and the cycle will repeat. So it goes. Please explain how in 60 years the Wright Brothers developed the airplane and we went to the Moon yet in the subsequent 40+ years no other country including our own has even attempted a return trip since 1972 despite a massive NASA budget.

THE QUESTION, IN FACT^^^^^ Wrong. NASA's budget post Apollo is anything but massive. Guess what percent of the federal budget goes to NASA. Guess what it was at the peak of Apollo. In the 48 years since the Apollo program, no one has successfully launched a rocket as powerful as the Saturn V. That is the number one reason why no one else has attempted to go to the Moon. The heavy-lift rocket used by the Apollo program has not been surpassed by any flown rocket so far. And unlike the SpaceX design, the Saturn V was completely expendable and only usable one time. That method was seen as unsustainable which is why the space shuttle was selected since it was to be reusable for the most part. Unfortunately reusability turned out to be more expensive than anticipated due to some of the design decisions involved in the space shuttle program. Most notably, placing a fragile reusable heat shield next to a cryogenic tank at launch turned out to be expensive and ultimately deadly. Not having a launch abort system also turned out to be deadly. And since this vehicle was only designed to go to Lil work for bit that is where we stayed for the duration of an entire manned spaceflight program. Some would say that the space shuttle was a mistake. It certainly failed to deliver on the promised prove tag per flight, due to the extensive overhaul it required after each flight. It also kept us in low earth orbit for its 30-year life span. That was not up to NASA to decide either. That decision was political as it always is. |
redhed6971 User ID: 72089733 United States 03/07/2017 09:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My own conclusion on this has nothing to do with science or technology or if you believe a giant barrier prevents us from reaching the moon. Without an insurance underwriter for both transport system and payload, this launch will be a 'no-go."
