NASA cutting own throat embracing GW

Studies have shown support for the agency is dropping. With idiot Obama
and NASA's cancellation of both the versatile Space Shuttle and Moon
mission, and idiot Hansen's embracing of global warming like some cultist,
the public sees less and less reason to support the space agency. Obama
the lazy flea brain was smart enough to promise a Mars mission, which we
know will never, EVER happen with today's (chemical rocket) technology, so
it's merely a carrot the public will never catch. NASA needs to start
looking back outward and not downward and they need to do it FAST, or any
further spaceflight will only be commercial and won't include a national
space agency.

First, atmospheric studies started with goddards first rocket flight,
so you need to do a little studying of history before you make such
statements. Next you should take a look further in the past than just
the current administration as the shuttle program started in the late
60's (meaning it has spanned 9 administrations), so there was ample
time for both the legislative and executive branches (held by by both
parties) to do better in providing the funding for the next generation
vehicle. Now i would ask you a simple question, do you think we
study other planets in greater detail than our own?

Interesting. yet stupid.

Hey, NASA is cutting its own throat by accepting the law of gravity.
After all, it would be a lot easier to get into space if gravity
wasn't holding rockets back.

Global warming, like gravity, isn't something there's a choice about.

And, like gravity, there is nothing that can be done about global warming,
or cooling for that matter. Both are cycles that will follow the variations
that they have always followed, as unknown (seemingly) to most of
humanity as they are.

Maybe we'll be able to control the climate when/if we figure out how to
lift things into orbit using a different mechanism. It's sort of like wishing
for world peace, isn't it? Speaking of which, when is the next beauty
pageant?

Sorry. Just as the law of gravity gives you a choice about whether or
not you want to jump off the top of a twenty-story building, the
greenhouse effect gives you a choice about how much carbon dioxide you
want to dump into the atmosphere.

There are natural cycles that influence the climate as well, but human
fossil fuel consumption has had a big and obvious effect on
atmospheric carbon dioxide, one which is now of significant magnitude
to affect global temperatures.

If our only choice to massively reduce carbon dioxide emissions were
to massively reduce our energy consumption, with the attendant
economic consequences, I certainly could understand the reluctance to
take action until all the variables, like absorption of carbon dioxide
in the oceans, were fully understood, so we could isolate the exact
contribution of anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, the
chances are good that, based on what we know now, if we waited that
long, it would be too late.

Fortunately, though, we have another choice. We don't have fusion
power. But we do have fission power. And breeder reactors. And in
addition to breeding fissionable Plutonium-239 from plentiful
Uranium-238, we can breed fissionable Uranium-233 from even more
plentiful Thorium-232.

Inexpensive, abundant energy = light pollution. :-(

Do you support a national rail service? Or a national bus service? Or
a national freight service? Or a national air carrier? Or a national
postal service? Most services run by governments, at the taxpayer's
expense, are ruinously inefficient, disastrously expensive and
blatantly wasteful of national and human resources. Wages are usually
pegged artificially low. Resulting in very poor quality recruits and
internally promoted, corrupt, empire-building, inferior managers
without the qualities to survive for five minutes in privately owned
business.

Given the tone of your post and the well-worn description of a
popularly elected, intellectual leader, all of the above qualities are
exactly what you despise in existing nationalised services. No doubt
you would vote for any candidate wearing a tall, pointy hat. Provided
they were an openly corrupt, warmongering, knuckle-dragging, racist,
pseudo-religious halfwit. One who should be serving the rest of his
time for war crimes, global abuses of human rights and serial offences
against the intellect. Oh wait. You did! Bummer! Dogh. :-))
