NASA rolls out downsized Moon expedition plan
Marty McFly User ID: 719442 United States 07/06/2009 11:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	NASA rolls out downsized Moon expedition plan cheaper ride to the moon ..... 'Officially, the space agency is still on track with a 4-year-old plan to spend $35 billion to build new rockets and return astronauts to the moon in several years. However, a top NASA manager is floating a cut-rate alternative that costs around $6.6 billion.' [link to www.godlikeproductions.com]

There are two new vehicles this rocket would carry - one generic cargo container, the other an Apollo-like capsule for astronaut travel. Those new vehicles could both go to the moon or the international space station.'

This would cut down the expense a great deal and the astronaut pool. It would also weed out the wanna bee-s and leave a smaller, more deadicated astronaut pool of true believers. That's the spirit the USA needs-those Final Frontier types; not the depends wearing, oh I'm afraid I'll brak a nail goombahs that clog up the current space program.

Bruce Willis did. Quoting: Marty McFly 719442 Because they would not have the fuel to go for TLI! - (accelerate to 25,000 mph) "My wish for you is that you succeed beyond your wildest imagination. That you find love in places that astound you. And that you have friends who call you "just because." I dream that you go barefoot more than you wear shoes. That you play as hard as you work. And that you laugh more than you cry. I want you to set the bar high, but not too high. To reach for the stars, but with your toes on the ground. And to never, ever stop dreaming. But most of all, I wish for your happiness..."

Anonymous Coward User ID: 534125 United States 07/06/2009 01:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Re: NASA rolls out downsized Moon expedition plan after their planned bombardment of the moon I don't think anyone will be going to the moon or anywhere else for that matter. We know they are there and they don't want us there so what this really is , is another black op rape of the American people's money which is all the space program is anyway.

Bruce Willis did. Quoting: Marty McFly 719442 The shuttle can't carry enough fuel to break Earth orbit. Those make-believe shuttles in Armageddon were supposed to be a new, top-secret thing. It's good to be open-minded, just don't let your brain fall out.

But if we're just going to sight-see, well, we've already done that. It's time to go to Mars. It's good to be open-minded, just don't let your brain fall out.
