Dennis Wingo on NASASpaceflight.com :
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/for...1586&start=436 "for some reason NASA does not want to buy any hardware anymore. Oh the SRB's ET and other STS elements would be virtually unchanged. Change costs money and that is something that we want to avoid. No VAB changes, no pad changes, or at least minimal ones and we can even use the OPF facility virtually unchanged." Change costs money and that is something we want to avoid. This from the guy who still refuses to believe in global warming. This is the guy that brought us VSE and ESAS, lied about EELV black zones, and now he and his buddy John ****burger want to bring us the Shuttle C! Let me clue you in Mr. Wingo, change is well underway, thank you : http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ As you can see, **** costs money. |

And yet you still believe our NASA/Apollo wizards walked on our moon,
and that there's no chance of intelligent other life as having ever been existing/coexisting on Venus. Go figure. .. - Brad Guth kT wrote: Dennis Wingo on NASASpaceflight.com : http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/for...1586&start=436 "for some reason NASA does not want to buy any hardware anymore.

![]() is the guy that brought us VSE and ESAS, Dennis Wingo will be thrilled beyond description that you are crediting a small space company contractor with creating the nation's current space program. Who knew he controlled NASA? |

Who knew he controlled NASA? Dennis is a neocon from the old days, he's been around. Ok, maybe it was Rand Simberg, he worked on OSP, right? I feel personally responsible for the entire NASP fiasco myself. But I do feel that I vindicated myself with the SLI, but look what came of that? I think they were totally on the right track with the Delta Clipper or DC-X, what happened to that? $60 piddly million bucks. What about this $174 million bucks going down on Tuesday, what do you think will come of that? Another Delta II clone, or some kind of Boeing craft? As far as Dennis and his new 'craze', if the Shuttle C hasn't made it in 30 years, it just ain't gonna happen. And I won't let it happen unless he uses RS-68s anyways. My working group already has a shuttle C using the retired orbiter skids and a pair of RS-68s on the drawing board all last summer, and sure it will work, but what's the point? You're looking at what, 3 fights, and if he's talking about stripping them down anyways, one could do just as well with my single SSME system, and that has a very clear path to LRB booster assistance and full reusability, with the associated very high flight rates (one per week). We just plain don't need heavy lift, and we don't need a human exploration program at this point. We can't afford it, and we need to greatly expand the LEO system we already have in place, including an equatorial commercial second generation space station, with solar power satellite and solar powered closed ecological life support systems demonstration, and a far more robust Earth and near Earth asteroid observation program. The shuttle C or anything SRB derived is a waste of valuable resources, we need to focus on reusability and unmanned cryogenic light launchers, and start flying small capsules on the fine Air Force funded vehicles we have in our inventory, simply for the experience. We're starting the space race all over, with a very fine set of assets, that we can use just long enough to create the second generation systems from the mistakes that we made the first time. Change is good. Change is the requirement. |

It's not that he (or I ) doesn't believe in Global Warming, it's that
we understand that most of the ongoing warming is due to the increase in energy output of the Sun. By the way, that energy heats the oceans and the warmer oceans release carbon dioxide (the same way your warm soda loses its fizz). Theses FACTS are supported by the historical record that shows warming leading increased CO2 levels. Aren't facts (the true ones) inconvenient? Last fact -- we still aren't as warm as 400 years ago (back when they made wine in Greenland and England) This from the guy who still refuses to believe in global warming. This is the guy that brought us VSE and ESAS, lied about EELV black zones, and now he and his buddy John ****burger want to bring us the Shuttle C! |

The sun hasn't changed its energy output. Put a reflector between you and the fire as you approach and you'll be comfortable. Move away as you turn the reflector aside and you'll still be comfortable. The Earth precesses with a 26,000 year cycle and is in an elliptical orbit. Antarctica is the reflector. Not much anyone can do about it except go and live in Greenland. |

Wingo in particular is blinded by his vanity. By the way, that energy heats the oceans and the warmer oceans release carbon dioxide (the same way your warm soda loses its fizz). Theses FACTS are supported by the historical record that shows warming leading increased CO2 levels. That explains the isotopic distributions? You're an idiot.

Last fact -- we still aren't as warm as 400 years ago (back when they made wine in Greenland and England) Who's we? That has recently been refuted by the careful study of ice domes on Baffin Island. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0128113831.htm Really, you have a vanity problem that blinds you to your ignorance, you are unskilled and unaware of it : http://www.apa.org/journals/features/psp7761121.pdf Dennis Wingo in particular, is a fascist, and an outright liar. Not a particularly credible combination in science. This from the guy who still refuses to believe in global warming.
