NASA: Love is Over Barak Obama

[Qalbert]

where's Miz?

[ephel]

I'm glad. I've been saying for years to stop spending money on the fucking space program until shit on earth is stable.

What he said.

[ephel]

Because waiting until its an immediate necessary thing is the way to go right? We have trillions in deficit due to shit decisions, not due to NASA. Not to mention we're NEVER going to fix shit on our planet, its been knee deep in shit since...umm..forever. One way to help it out is to understand what's going on in the universe.

Are you saying that if things get so bad here, we could move to the moon?

[zoobernut]

How is it a luxury trip? They arnt going up there to sip martini's and have some shrimp cocktails.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Also the Earth is never going to be stable. Saying we shouldn't spend money on space exploration until the earth is stable is like.... fuck it no more analogies, it is just asinine.

[Kryssan]

I totally support this position. Now private companies can use the bank's bailout money for loans in order to bring democracy and capitalism to space. How could this possibly go wrong?

[Therin]

All the wackos were right. He is Satan.

[Mizango]

Who the fuck cares? Our deficit is in the trillions and mothafuckas want to explore space and shit. It's unnecessary at this time.

Naw nigga, fuck you.

where's Miz?

Sup pimpin'.

It was my understanding, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but the majority of people working for NASA and the whole space exploration industry already didn't see a point in sending people into space and that it was all started as a pissing contest during the cold war to show how l33t america is.

Unmanned spacecraft and telescopes, both terrestrial and ones in orbit, have contributed 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% more to our understanding of the universe and the discovery of other possible earth-like planets.

Perfecting terraforming, suspended animation for travel, and etc. are all currently being heavily researched here on earth without any need to send people to the moon. In fact, it will eventually BE perfected long before we have any need to actually physically test it.

Sending people into space is outrageously more expensive than sending unmanned probes or developing new, stronger telescopes, and etc. for far less information gained.

tl;dr? We shouldn't be sending people into space. It's an astronomical waste of NASA's already exceptionally tight budget that could be used to break more advancements in space exploration than we could ever get by sending some douche named buzz to the moon.

Quoting for greater justice.

Naw nigga, fuck you.

Nigga study your astrology like everyone else... from Earth.

[Beckwin]

itt we compare having healthcare to going to disneyland.

my fucking god.

on one hand it's disappointing that moon trips are on the chopping block, considering we're the wealthiest country on the planet and how much we spend on wars. but, there are more efficient ways to spend money in the name of science and technology development, and we do need to try and save some cash.

as for the whole "hay I gave my friends a bunch of money now lets make cuts" retardedness, the bank bailouts are gonna be reclaimed.

[Mizango]

Anyone that supports this is a moron. How about instead of fucking over our space program we stop wars? Or how about making churches pay taxes? Cut NASA budgets until we get shit here on Earth fixed? Fucking really? We've only been trying that how many thousands of years?

You guys make me sick QQ

[Takedown3]

What was the scientific purpose of sending people back to the moon?

i read this as "sending black people to the moon"

i guess i really am a racist as i thought thats where we were sending all of them for a second.

[Mizango]

Fuck that, I'm voting Republican. C'mon Lief, lets wreck shop on these democratic fags.

Not to mention all the shit we have now due to NASA? Teflon, the sensors and instrumentation that keep patients alive in hospital intensive care units came originally from technology developed to keep astronauts alive in their spacecraft. The lightweight, nonflammable materials that we use in windsurfing, skiing, firefighting and a thousand other ways came out of space technology.


And even mother fucking Tang bitches..TANG.

Think about it, this is about delaying/cancelling a trip to the moon, which is hardly space exploration in the grand scheme.

The true exploration is done, as Sath said, through the use of probes and telescopes which can be developed perfectly fine on this planet and/or without landing people on the Moon.

I had more to type, but why bother? Sath pretty much summed up everything I was thinking of saying anyways. Good job buddy.

Too late, Canada was there first.

I wonder if Brett Farve's tears are as delicious to you as your tears are to me... yummmmmm.

They aren't doing away with NASA... just downsizing it's budget and limiting its focus. All that stuff you mentioned did not require landing on the moon to invent.
