Apparently capping, securing or replacing a deep-sea dysfunctional BOP is more complex than any fly-by-rocket expertise. Besides that, all the smart ZNRs that made our ARPA and NASA are either dead or missing, like BP they kept no as-built records, and their science is?????????? Our public K-12 parrots are now officially dysfunctionals. BP and Dick Cheney are each too big to fail ~ BG |

You forgot that 99.9% of this global Usenet/newsgroup is also stupid. Pot, kettle, black. The biggest problem with NASA is that the bad administrators keep clinging to the belief that the "next big project" will energize the public (and the politicians) resulting in big increases in NASA funding in the future. *It's never going to happen. That's only because the planet Venus remains as taboo/nondisclosure as is our moon. *Apollo was the exception, not the rule. *We won that race, so the necessity for sky high NASA budgets is gone. *NASA needs to plan their projects around a flat budget (maybe with increases to account for inflation) extending off into infinity. The mutually perpetrated cold-war is very much alive and kicking, and we're all losers at that game. The biggest reason that NASA can't return to the moon is the money simply was never there to do so. *Griffin picked the most expensive launch architecture possible and it ate up so much of the budget that the money to build and fly actual lunar landers wouldn't have fit in the future budgets without massive NASA budget increases. *Never going to happen. *NASA really does need to rethink their plans around how much it's going to cost. Jeff -- The only decision you'll have to make is Who goes in after the snake in the morning? Japan has demonstrated that it can do whatever's NASA for 10% the cost, and India can outperform Japan for 10% of that much. Most everything else American is outsourced, so why not NASA? ~ BG |

this mess might be the breakthrough moment when we decide that maybe ten million windmills in the US and electric-powered cars really isn't that bad of an idea. ;-) I'm not that optimistic. But I think that people would put up with nuclear power plants more easily than ten million windmills. As for electric cars, that will take work. If cars like the Zenn, that don't try to compete head-on with gasoline-powered road hogs, could be safely put on the road, then it would be doable with current technology. John Savard |
