Yeah, Baby! Back to the Moon!
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/poli ... /97415554/
oh, boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!
Let's do it, folks!
Yes, I am full bore behind "Get your ass to Mars!" Mars is the next step.
But, I said this 8 years ago, and I'll say it again, canceling the moon mission and the Constellation program was a huge mistake. We needed to get back to the moon while the people who were involved in Apollo were still around enough to help us. Just think, if we had continued Constellation with fervor, we'd be counting the months down to a new lunar landing.
Now, we have all these grandiose plans of going to asteroids and Mars, and yet we haven't even mastered the Moon, yet. We can't send astronauts on years long missions to Mars when we aren't even sure how we'd function for months on the Moon and back. The Moon is 250,000 Km from Earth, and Mars is from 54 million KM to a maximum of 401 million Km. The Mars trip is many orders of magnitude more difficult than the Moon trip, and we haven't yet made Moonshots routine. To some extent, just to go back to the Moon we have to reinvent the wheel, metaphorically.
So, if there is talk of getting us back to the moon now, I applaud it. Let's go! Get your ass to the Moon!

“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

By the way, the Mexicans will be paying for the program

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Then it all went to pot. Although it was possible to do those things governments lacked vision & became frightened by the prospects. Not since JFK has there been a visionary president. Hopefully, Trump is that president... we'll see.
But without a new, vigorous space program science education will continue to suffer, and the only excitement for the young will be wars and rumors of wars. Still, the species only has 19 years to go... Too little, too late.

Re: Yeah, Baby! Back to the Moon!
Meanwhile the dickhead wants to cut funding for the Earth science division and try bury evidence for climate change. NASA have gone rogue. He has also put a woman in charge of education who would have kids learn creationism.
What a pathetic attempt to make Trump seem like some kind of friend of science. Fucking desperate.
Is USA Today like America's Daily Mail?

Interestingly there was a click-bait article below with a picture of Susan Boyle with her hand raised in a wave with a caption below saying she's so skinny now she looks like a model. For a second I thought it was Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute.

To be clear, I still state that the Apollo program was a hoax. The evidence proves that those supposed landings were bogus. Anyone can (still) find lots of evidence, both as text & video, that Apollo was a lie for several reasons.

However, Galaxian also knows that there are bases on the Moon & Mars, and probably beyond. That undisclosed space travel is done via other technology; rockets do not come into it. But those bases & those vehicles & space drives are top secret, and the bottom feeding farm animals have no right to know about them. It is as if the sheep in the field have a right to know that the farmer has a TV & computer at the farmhouse. It is none of their business... they are simply marked for slaughter. Similarly, we are marked for slaughter. There is NO reason for us to be told the truth
