..New Space-Race to the Moon..History is (Tragically) Repeating Itself
First Bush and his Vision to the moon, then Japan, India and now China all gearing up to go back to the moon. WHY? The same reason for Apollo, we were in a ....military...race with the Soviets. The Cold War. Now....the reason everyone is going back to the moon??? MISSILE DEFENSE. So, I guess after another FIFTY GODDAMMED YEARS we'll end up with nothing more to show than the last FIFTY YEARS IN SPACE. Lots of really cool..very..expensive weapons we'll probably never use. And a bunch of completely useless hardware lying about on the moon. Just like the ISS, the Grand Accomplishment of the last FIFTY YEARS in space. What a ****ing... excuse my lanquage, but it's so incredibly infuriating to think about, no other word will do.... ...what a ****ing waste. We should demand NASA return to the plan it had for the future of space BEFORE BUSH. Space Solar Power... Executive Summary NASA'S SPACE SOLAR POWER EXPLORATORY RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY (SERT) PROGRAM http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?re...d=10202&page=1 And we should do so...times ten. But then, maybe I'm the only one that thinks we should use NASA to pave the way solutions to global warming and diminishing fossil fuels INSTEAD of paving the way for friggin ...space ships with laser beams attached. I mean, it can't be possible no one else sees the absolute LUNACY of current policy?? Shirly it can't be the Iranians or N Koreans that frighten us so much we need to militarize the moon? Must be China eh? ****ing communists need to go, once and for all. s |

But as easily deployed from the moon's L1 isn't exactly half bad. - Brad Guth -- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Interceptor missiles launched from the moon or L1 would take hours to reach near-Earth space - that's hopelessly too slow to affect a ballistic missile attack from one point on Earth to another. Lasers or other directed energy beams would spread too much at that range. No one will put offensive missiles in such places, either: the enormous effort of hauling the things up there is worthless given that a war using Earth-based ballistic missiles will be over before missiles needing (at best) hours to reach Earth can have any effect. |

(mindless drivel snipped) Boy, your wacko-meter is pretty high, I'd say. Did you escape out of the same lunatic asylum that the Guthball fled? If so, their security has a lot to be desired.
