Weirder election than Battlestar Galactica's
"Robert J. Kolker" wrote in message ... 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. |

"Robert J. Kolker" wrote in message ... Bob wrote: You left out the entire microelectronics revolution and the computer. 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? |

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message nk.net... "Rand Simberg" wrote in message ... 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? |

"Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... The point is Kennedy did not initiate the Apollo program. But he *did* initiate the *lunar landing program* that Apollo was merged with. |

"Robert J. Kolker" wrote in message ... 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? |

It was responsible for the foundation that Reagan was able to stand on to finish the job. Duh. 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. Bob Kolker |

What verifiable evidence is there that any serious funds were being spent in the fifties for practical lunar travel? 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. Bob Kolker |

They didn't. ****ing cowards. NASA being run by the brain dead and dickless would have folded. Bob Kolker |
