...This is How Far Nasa has Fallen.....Even I can't believe this....
George W; So dad, tell me, what was your biggest regret during your four years in office, except of course for that ya know "read my...ah... except for that? George Sr; Except for 'that' of course, I really wanted to go back to the future, ah, back to the moon and then on to Mars. Been dreaming about it since I was fifty. But we couldn't get the money ...damn that Rudman. George W; Hell, I'll just tell em to scrap everything and dust off your 'ol dream daddy, we'll go back to the ah ....where was than again? George Sr; ....the moon son (rolling his eyes) George W; ya ya the moon, consider it my Christmas gift dad! George Sr; Thanks son ............................................... President Bush announces new space inititive "First, for the coming decade, for the 1990s, Space Station Freedom, our critical next step in all our space endeavors. And next, for the next century, back to the Moon, back to the future, and this time, back to stay. And then a journey into tomorrow, a journey to another planet, a manned mission to Mars..." -- President George Bush, July 21st 1989 "When President Bush announced a new Space Exploration Initiative in 1989, NASA launched a 90-day study to pull together its current thinking on creation of a lunar base as a prelude and testbed for expeditions to Mars. The resulting project would cost $300 billion and take 20 years to place an 8 crew base at Lacus Veris. Even space enthusiasts were underwhelmed and the concept sank out of sight." http://www.astronautix.com/craft/luntpost.htm Nasa has become nothing more than a rich kids toy. s |

The paper the other day documented an unusually high number of resignations recently of Bush appointees. The last year will be the lamest lame-duck in a long time. Hopefully Nasa will drag their feet for the next year and a half before committing themselves to anything long term. I don't know why, but when I think about this stuff I keep remembering an old Monty Python skit.... King of Swamp Castle; "When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest castle in all of England." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071853/quotes -- Get A Free Orbiter Space Flight Simulator : http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/orbit.html |

I'm not a big fan of the back to the moon initiative, but honestly, is it any worse than flying around the earth in circles, over and over and over again? At least this is meant to serve as a step towards going somewhere interesting. You can debate the merits of the plan in scientific terms, but the goal is a good one compared to what we were doing before. Personally I think this should be the golden age of unmanned exploration, and that we should sending out probes and satellites in every direction in large numbers. We should be hard at work on something truly wonderful & revolutionary, such as a gravitational lense telescope. Not only would projects like that increase our knowledge of the solar system and universe exponentially, they would probably provide just as much useful information for manned planetory exploration as going back to the moon. |

I know, it's horrible, the moon flying around in circles around the Earth over and over again, the Earth flying around in circles around the sun over and over again, the sun flying around in circles around the galaxy over and over again. The law of gravity needs to be repealed! Wouldn't it be great if the universe was expanding, and all the objects were receding from each other? What we need is more emptyness!

The fallacy of democracy in the Middle East is that we suck up to the monarchy in Saudi Arabia rather than shun it. But since we are slaves to oil, here we are. Ever watch Cheney when he greets a member of the Saudi royal family? It's enough to make you sick. Eric |
