You should have done what that other dude did. Sell plots of land on the moon at no cost to yourself except for maybe a stamp.Pochsy wrote:
Damn. That could have been me if I had a moon-parts/rocks supplier and came up with the idea 20 years ago. I identified the market, but that's as far as I got, lol.blademaster wrote:

I think the US needs to start workin' on some mining projects in space to pay for the programs. Maybe start selling moon rocks to enthusiasts or something.
Space exploration is National defense. ... more lost jobs. I have to check with my buddy and see if he is still employed. I don't see the rush for manned missions anyways. Robotics can do so much now.Mekstizzle wrote:
Rather he cut their ridiculous defense budget than the space budget. But he doesn't have the balls to cut the defence budget, the US is a militarised society. Even the "liberals" don't want a cut in the defence budget. If anything this guy is going to increase the defence budget
if you don't, then the crazy muslims will eat your kids at night

I think space exploration is of the upmost importance, after all if we are not alone in the Universe then religion would be forfeit therefore ending most conflict on earth an thus putting a stop to Team America spreading there money hungry currupt illegal wars with the Islamic fear factor.
"The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..." And we... kill those people.
"We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real." Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. Thank you very much, you've been great."

I guess it is important to establish a forward base on the moon, but I was thinking of exploration on a far lrager scale than just our solar system. In which case the moon doesn't make a massive differance.
I was really interested in Astrology as a kid, I think I'm gonna get back into it.
Hope you meant astronomy.
Hope you meant wandered.
Holy shit I have no attention span. I am actually interested in this thread and only read like, 4 posts.
Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.
