NASA.....Rest in Peace!

NASA has become a shadow of it's past. Why? Let me list only the most recent embarrassments. 1) The (Russian) International Space Station! The 'promise' of microgravity research! Currently crewed by Anton, Anatoly, Oleg, Andre, Don and Dan. Replacing former crew Sergei, Satoshi and Mike. Which replaced the previous crew of Borisenko, Samokutyaev and Ron. At least the Russians still give us seat or two. It's all we can do to keep it up, let alone do any significant science. Turns out those 'promises' were nothing more than a two-bit sales pitch. Facts please. The science hours on Station are up the last 4 months or so. The idea that all that is done on Station is build or maintain it was during 3 man crews during assembly. These days it's different. Has been for almost a year. |

Has been for almost a year. True micro gravity science can only be accomplished at places like our Earth-moon-L1 or Venus-L2. ISS as is is too spendy, risky and otherwise limited. http://groups.google.com/groups/search http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / “Guth Usenet” |

Long exposures to space for manned missions to Mars that's never going to happen? Dark Energy research which no one really cares about? The one thing this project is proving is that by the time such a long and expensive program is finished the world has moved on. |

How about easily creating an unlimited supply of carbonado (aka diamond) of any size and volume? http://groups.google.com/groups/search http://translate.google.com/# Brad Guth, Brad_Guth, Brad.Guth, BradGuth, BG / “Guth Usenet” |

And now you've changed the topic. Your original statement, the one I responded to, was "It's all we can do to keep it up, let alone do any significant science." That's what I was responding to. It's not really factual. There are science hours being logged. It's not all maintenance now. |

Ever heard of pure carbon tether fibers? |
