Journey to Mars lies through the moon

Do we have to go straight through the center or will just a glancing blow suffice?

Inquiring minds want to know ...

If we had continued going to the moon we would most certainly be much more advanced than we are now.

Didn’t Red China already claim the moon as their own territory?

Went to see “Martian” this afternoon. In spite of having Matt Damon as its star, it was a pretty good movie. The slingshot maneuver, however was old Star Trek material.

Is that the Earth behind him and in his visor at the same time?


What nice patches he has on his right arm.
They look just like the one in the space walk.
Actual space suits instead of training suits?

Water, water everywhere. The poor guy almost drowned in space!

Our tax dollars at work. Just "Believe!"

"which just happened to coincide with the premiere of the hit film The Martian, starring Matt Damon as an astronaut marooned on the Red Planet, "

Hollywood. Right on top of things with new ideas.

Walking a mile in a real Nasa astronaut's underwater shoes

It's the same patch...in the pool.

Moon or Mars makes no difference as long as keep looking to Washington to make it happen.

The best Washington can do to make it happen - is stay out of the way of those really trying to get there, rather than feather their own nests with taxpayer $$.

Again, no one is mentioning the whole point of NASA’s announcement - it was not that water exists on Mars - something which has been suspected for years, but how that water was lost. Something hit Mars, something very big, stripping off the atmosphere and dissipating the water. One side of Mars is heavily cratered, the other nearly flat - the line between the two hemispheres is very obvious.

No one wants to talk about this announcement as it contradicts the steady state, gradual, evolutionary model of traditional science. Nothing is permitted to introduce Catastrophism, no matter how compelling and obvious the evidence.
