The Apollo-era astronaut, now 83, has devised a plan to "cycle" spacecraft to Mars, continually launching humans to the red planet to expand on its colony. Aldrin advocates using Phobos, a moon of Mars, as a sort of home base for landing on the planet.

No doubt at a staggering expense paid for by the taxpayers who in the government employee mindset have nothing better to do with their money than fund the unworkable fantasies of said government employees Let the senile old f@rt keep his hands off my money.

Obama’s space initiatives are nothing but empty rhetoric and misdirection to assure the disassembly cancellation of the US space program IMO. Obama cannot have a source of national pride for a US High Frontier and would much rather see anything accomplished by anyone but the US.

If Led Zeppelin can say no to Clinton then Buzz Aldrin can say no to Obama.

"Bringing an asteroid back to Earth? What's that have to do with space exploration?"

Bringing an asteroid back to orbit earth has its own advantages. I'm all for doing both and possibly combining them. (Give the aspiring asteroid miners a place to start)

Maybe adjusting the orbits of a series of asteroids for near passes of earth and mars for transportation purposes. Drop cargo on the surface as it passes earth and when it approaches mars the cargo could be launched for a landing on that end.

Poor Buzz. Off reservation again.

The ONLY purpose of NASA now is to help Moslem esteem
and to put jihad and death into orbit.

Buzz was part of that brief moment in history when computers had gotten just good enough to enable men fly to the moon, but were not yet good enough to make the men unnecessary.

Aldrin’s comments raise some difficult questions. Foremost is the question of whether or not the human colonization of Mars is a greater or lesser priority than the colonization of the Solar System’s asteroids?The asteroids taken as a whole provide more economical access, more readily accessible and life critical resources, There is also an advantage to not having so many people in one habitat in the event of a extinction leveel catastrophe. By contrast, Mars presents a number of problems with gravity and a thin atmosphere that make it perhaps a less attractive and lower priority objective for permanent human colonization.

There’s no where to go Buzz. Without some kind of revolution in physics we are super glued to this solar system.

"Bringing an asteroid back to Earth? What's that have to do with space exploration?"

Guarantees complete bankruptcy of the US. Ask yourself why.

Actually, what Zero really wants to do is go to Uranus.

Now 0bama’s mission for NASA is to capture the Pie in the Sky.
