NASA: Love is Over Barak Obama

[ZarakiKujata]

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

Good luck getting church's taxed then. Also why do you care so much, its not like they even let black people become astronauts, everybody's seen Independence Day. If Will Smith isn't good enough for them, what makes you think you are?!

[Cadsuane]

I read it as him saying that black holes WERE antimatter. Which is why I went 'wat'

That would be a pretty silly thing to say, yeah.

He wasn't accepted into NASA either.


Also mildly amusing cause this is the president who promised to restore science in America. But anyways, once we are done with Iraq/Afghanistan instead of starting another war, should just redirect the entire military industrial complex towards NASA.

We'll be using Russian and Chinese Spacecraft to get to the ISS. I'm sure they won't hold that fact over our heads.

See, now this is just silly. You should know better by now.


That being said, I disagree with not staying in space, but it goes back to what you said about choosing evils Sath. I dislike that as much as I do the current military standpoints we take. Feels like that's all that happens lately. Ares was just like DDX and ERS on the Ford. Sure, I like the idea behind them, but wasting the money on building them has shown they're not worth it.



And sorry Miz, but I'm only ever going to see Reading Rainbow looking at that.

dont we do that already? Russian ones that is.

looool. Its all good, it has been determined that Lavar Burton is just a poor man's Demosthenes anyway.

Yeah, but blanket statements that are irrelevant are so much more fun when we want to somehow correlate the apparent jeopardy of our patriotism to subtly present our political ideology.

Afaik, Obama works for the Chinese but is really a double agent for the Russians.

How are restoring science in America and spending umpty billion dollars to put a few guys back on the moon connected?

Enlighten me.

[Morn]

We have, but we don't HAVE to rely on them. The SSTs have done quite a bit of ferrying as well as hauling up major components of the ISS. We are losing a major heavy lifting platform, and its replacement is being scrapped shortly before it was due to be tested.

[Mizango]

Hey, fuck you. You guys are pissing me off with this "putting guys on the moon" shit.

[Xno Kappa]

Wasn't that Buzz Aldrin guy against the moon plan too though recently?

EDIT: He wanted to go to Mars instead or some shit.

They aren't. The first is a sarcastic remark because when Obama first came into office one of the first things he promised was restoring science which on the surface is contradictory with cutting space shuttle funding. The other is my opinion that redirecting money to NASA from the military industrial complex would allow us to keep the benefit it brings to our economy (keynesian economics at its finest) and to avoid the constant need to be at war that the industrial complex causes instead. I never said what the money should be used for once NASA has it though.

[Morn]

Obama not fulfilling a campaign promise? Say it isn't so!

[Hobbes]

I say skip the moon (been there, done that). Get our asses on Mars already. And then on to Ceres.

[Aesctaa]

New generation of Hubble at Sun-Earth L2. you heard it here first.

The other option open to Obamas successor is the NEO deep space manned mission to either phobos or an asteroid, the important constellation hardware will still get the go-ahead.

And as an FYI, the whole evocative image of the first new moon and subsequently mars landings, its going to be the Chinese, the US era of opportunity is gone, the cost would have been relatively insignificant in terms of proportion of overall budget a decade or two ago, but mismanagement and lack of public will have ended your chances for good.

[Xno Kappa]

Fuck yeah. Let's go to Ceres. Fly into that bitch all Armageddon style dodging asteroids and shit.

[SwampdonkeyPLD]

I'm not gonna turn this into a healthcare debate. But to answer your question. We can not go to the moon or in space ever and still live fruitful albeit boring as shit lives.

The same can't be said about Health care 'spending.'

which btw

Spoiler: show

Isn't really spending since the CBO has stated multiple times it actually lowers the deficit.

get it?

Quick question and I won't respond to the answer.

Does the CBO say it lowers the deficit b/c it raises taxes for the first X amount of years while spending nothing b/c benefits haven't kicked in? Or does it say in spite of spending trillions of more dollars the deficit will go down?
