Russians planning manned Mars mission
"Ultimate Buu" :
This is the second announcement by the Russians in less than 6 months concerning a manned Mars mission. The first one involved the commitment or intention for a manned Mars expedition in 2018 or thereabouts and an invitation for the U.S. and Europe to get involved. The U.S. cold-shouldered the Russian request until a full-plan would be put on the table. That's sensible off course, but if the Russians delivered a detailed plan there's no doubt the U.S. would demand major changes to the plan in any case, so why bother. I think there should be real commitment being shown by all parties involved (Russians, US, EU) before any detailed plans are drawn up. You don't understand the concept of "The Big Lie"? That what it sounds like someone is trying to do to me, and it still does not make it real. Earl Colby Pottinger -- I make public email sent to me!

And in the real world you still can't get power from a bunch of engineering drawings, it still means nothing unless someone starts bending metal. See, now there you're wrong. You take the drawings, plus the viewgraphs and memos, plus the ISO 900X stuff, plus all the rest of the paperwork and you make a nice neat pile under the boiler. The rest is left as an excercise for the reader. |
