We spent and spent then ****ed it away. And for what?


For beating the Russian communists, for which, Apollo was an extremely
useful and cost-effective tool. It was responsible for the foundation that
Reagan was able to stand on to finish the job. Duh.

Then there's communications - satellites, etc.


The phone company (the real Bell) funded that.


*Because the government was footing the bill to send people to the moon.*

NASA is a piece of **** corrupt organization.


Any asshole can complain. Why don't *you personally* do something about it?

President Kennedy proposed the project to the nation in May of 1961.
Had he not done that, there would have been no moon landings.


The project had been proposed in the fifties.


No, it hadn't. A *proposal* is a great deal more than "it would sure be nice
if we could do this someday", which all that was possible in the fifties.
What verifiable evidence is there that any serious funds were being spent in
the fifties for practical lunar travel?

The point is Kennedy did not initiate the Apollo program.


But he *did* initiate the *lunar landing program* that Apollo was merged
with.

People like Morton Thiakol personel. Wonderful. When NASA sat on them,
they folded and let Challanger fly.


Feel free to provide the legal authority for Morton Thiokol to have stopped
the flight.

You can yak all you want about coulda-shoulda-woulda, but unless you can
provide a specific Federal statute that would give Morton Thiokol the legal
authority to prevent NASA from doing whatever NASA wanted to do with NASA
property, it's clear that you have no clue as to what you are talking about.

NASA is a rotten corrupt organization and should be abolished.


Your momma should have bought better condoms.

On Fri, 24 Mar 2006 14:18:04 GMT, in a place far, far away,
(Bob) made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way
as to indicate that:

An important rule of our fascist dictatorship


rolling eyes

is that the Military
Industrial Complex does not miss a trick. Just remember that
throughout history man has always used new technology for military
purposes first.


Why should we remember things that aren't true?

In other words the mission to the moon was a
my-dick-is-bigger-than-Kruschev's-dick undertaking.

By the way, the so-called "star wars" initiative was an unmanned
project. It had nothing to do with going to the moon.

How? By not paying taxes?

Not one cent was so allocated. Our main concern was delivery nukes by
rocket or putting up surviellance sattilites. All of these are unmanned
missions. Manned space travel is one of the least cost effective uses of
our money at this time. We need better propulsion systems and we need a
purpose for spending tax payser money to put people into space. Perhaps
setting up habitats on the moon and building observatories on the dark
side might make some sense. Or mining the asteroid field.

They cold have told NASA do not fly and they could have gone to the
newspapers and the broadcast media. They didn't. ****ing cowards. NASA
being run by the brain dead and dickless would have folded.
