La Mort de l'Exploration Spatiale

The Future of NASA

I have said it many times... that NASA went from virtually NOTHING to LANDING A MAN ON THE MOON, with their very limited technology in the 1960s. Just think about it... in one decade, WE LANDED MEN ON THE MOON. Chances are, none of us were alive while there have been men on the moon.

Now WHY--SOMEONE TELL ME WHY--does it take SO LONG FOR THEM TO PLAN ANYTHING TODAY? With the quantum leaps made in recent decades in all manners and fields of science, shouldn't these space voyages be getting quicker, cheaper and easier?

FIRST SATELLITE: 1957.
FIRST MAN ON THE MOON: 1969.
FIRST MAN ON MANS: (Tentatively) (Maybe) 2030's.

WTF

I DON'T WANT TO BE 900 years old when this happens!

Fuck, I'll be 45 years old in 2030! And you know damn well that if the federal government of today plans to do something in 2030, it MIGHT actually get done in 2045...


Fuck it all.
