guess they are baffled because they were hired to perform mooselimb outreach, not perform extraordinary feats of science, engineering and exploration like real astronauts would do.
The only places I have visited in the last couple years that are not overrun with illegal aliens are the Poconos in Northeast PA and WV.
Why should I have to move to get away from people who should not be here?
Most of the technology you enjoy today came, directly or indirectly, from our going to the Moon. You knew that, right?
...
I wonder how that can be when our Moon program relied on Nazi rocket scientists and ICBM technology.
I’m sure that was a joke. In any case, Pres. Trump likes to think big; that’s one reason many people voted for him—his unshakable faith in American ingenuity and dedication.
Anyway, isn’t NASA’s main mission to engage in Muslim outreach? Apparently the president didn’t get the memo. ;)
I remember that - they went at night, didn’t they?
Yes and that tech was developed at less than one cent of every tax dollar. Now you have things like AGW studies and the horribly overbudget JWST. Not your fathers agency
Back then my late father was working on the frame at Southern Bell in Miami. We don’t want to go back to that technology and monopoly, do we?
Tell Mexicans there’s free stuff on Mars
And what if the martians have already stripped it before the earthlings arrive?
So how we gonna pay for this with all these illegal aliens?? what about getting them out? And how do we explain this after making the much needed tax cut? Just curious.
Elon Musk says he’ll send people to Mars in 6 years.
He always does what he says he’ll do.
Having bi-lingual signage on all spacecraft will add so much weight that the spacecraft won’t be able to get off the ground. That’s why NASA will never send people to other planets.
With the Orion we could be mining the asteroids much less going to Mars.
Maybe Trump has some inside knowledge of the ES drive.
There are rumors that both China and the US are now doing space testing.
If it is real, walking on Mars in 4 years could be doable.
There is a website and a publication called Spinoff that answers your question, as to what NASA has contributed to science and technology. If you think that today’s rockets have much in common with th rockets of Nazi Germany, you are horribly misinformed.
Semiconductor, satellites, microcomputers, software, medical sensors, shatter proof glass, silicon rubbers, microwave ovens, implantable plastics for surgery, optics, plastics, carbon fiber, ultra sonics, infra-red camera, color TVs, memory metals, anti-glare coatings, anti-corrosive additives, finite elemental analysis, auger analysis, spectral analysis to name just a microcopic number of fields.
This statement you made is so utterly and staggering misinformed, as to be almost unbelievable. NASA has a return of over $100-1,000 for every dollar invested and this continues today.
Would you be comfortable sitting on top of detonating nukes???
Yikes!
A president having knowledge not available to the common man? Odd.
Send Sheila Jackson Lee ... maybe she can go look for the flag on mars.
I think I’ll stick with my information, since I’m convinced by well reasoned and thoughtful claims.
