A lot of military developed equipment has useful civilian applications. I drive a HUMMER...and then there's GPS... And for what its worth, the Saturn boosters were not military in origin. |

The key is to enable big missions with existing vehicles. We shouldn't have to keep throwing away all of our current launch vehicle assets every time a new mission is proposed. Saturn V was a dead end. Shuttle was a dead end. I believe Ares I and Ares V would have been yet another dead end. It's time to stop going down dead ends.

But I'll be looking forward to this remake. Bob M. |

WTF is it so damn imperative that you threaten people with death, wish ill will for them and just are plain abhorrent. Bob, really, WHY do you insist on going least common denominator all the time? All you succeed in doing is alienating the people you seem to think like the idea of you going off on practically anyone with a point of view who is just a little out of kilter with the rest of us. That and that ridicilous vendetta you have with Keith Cowing. Frankly I could care less whatever it was that he did. It is his website he can do what the hell he wants with it. If he bans someone that is surely at his discretion and he doesn't have to justify, explain or ever need a rational reason. Do you know why that is? I bet you can guess. And you going on an on how you won't stand for it and how dare they behave that way...yadda yadda yadda makes you look like some 3 year old stamping his feet because the big people won't listen to him and let him have his own way. I've seen it with my own child from time to time and for a little kid it can be annoying to deal with, but to watch an adult act in the same manner not only is it irritating it is also embarrassing. I don't know how you do it Bob. I really don't. |

Jeff -- Thats why NASA SHOULD of selected at the time of columbias loss using delta and atlas heavies for launching, using 2 seperate existing boosters would of meant a booster failure wouldnt ground US manned space. Of course NASA wanted to pay off existing shuttle contractors, and ares was born. NASA got what it deserved! Pick a bad design, lose that portion of your agency |

It is SO amazingly easy to do that I am surprised a person such as yourself hasn't tried it. It only bugs me when OM doesn't respond. He's a very reliable indicator of whether I hit a 'NASA' nerve or not. And that statement isn't meant as reverse psychology either on OM, it's true. He is a good barometer. Jonathan s |

"Ramon F Herrera" wrote in message ... The question is not whether we explore or not - we always will. The question is when. When we get far lower cost to orbit I would think. But just that as a goal won't cut it, since the benefits are indirect, it's a much harder sell. Lower cost to orbit needs to be within a larger goal, one where the benefits are direct and easy to see. Which is another reason why I go on and on about Space Solar Power. What's the rush? After all, it is not like the moon and Mars are going anywhere. Last time I checked, they have no plans to relocate or disappear. -Ramon |
