With the future of NASA being bleak, it’s hard for me to enjoy these incredible accomplishments.

There is a small piece of the fabric from the wing of the airplane that flew at Kitty Hawk by the Wright brothers. Pretty cool idea to bring that to Mars if you ask me.

The whole thing is amazing. Another area where Trump had no intention of reducing our commitment.

Exactly how is the future of NASA “bleak”?
NASA is looking better than it has in decades.

Hope for the best, expect the worst. Then you’ll never be disappointed.
To: Red Badger
I was told in the past that Mars did not have a thick enough gas atmosphere for something like this to work.
Cool.

Thanks for that info. Cool indeed!
We humans may be crawling our way to the stars, but despite the bidets we are moving forward.
Although this is NASA, Heinlein was right in the future of space belongs the private sector.
