One of the most disgusting and shameful things that the past forty years of political correctness has forced on America is our virtual abandonment of the jewel in America’s crown, the ultimate goal of all humanity –manned space flight and the spread of mankind throughout the stars.

According to Breitbart News: “NASA is on track to return humans to the moon by 2020 and set up a lunar outpost to serve as a springboard to explore Mars, officials said Monday. ‘Our job is to build towns on the moon and eventually put tire prints on Mars,’ NASA’s Rick Gilbrech told reporters here, one year after the US space agency unveiled an ambitious plan to site a solar-powered, manned outpost on the south pole of the moon. ‘We have the International Space Station; we’re going to have a lunar outpost, and someday, certainly, somebody will go to Mars,’ said Jeff Hanley, head of NASA’s Constellation program, which is developing the tools to return humans to the moon. ”

Well, that’s all very nice. It sounds very enthusiastic and upbeat, for a press conference that might have taken place in, say, 1970. Unfortunately, it’s now 2007, and NASA has essentially wasted all its resources on things like the Hubble telescope, a space station so small as to be useless and the whole boondoggle of the space shuttle program, which any honest observer sees as NASA’s biggest failure –desperately in need of replacement. It has been 35 years since any astronaut has actually left the earth’s orbit to take the baby step to the moon.

Breitbart continues: “Despite budgetary constraints, NASA hoped to have Constellation fully operational by 2016, Gilbrech said. ‘We’re hoping we get a budget passed by Congress,’ he said, pointing out that only six-tenths of a penny of every tax dollar went to funding NASA’s space programs. ‘We’re making plans to be ready for any and all scenarios. The (budget proposal) we put in keeps our program on track for the March 2015 initial operating capability… and full operating capability a year later,’ Gilbrech, who leads new spacecraft development at NASA, said.”

Really? You’re planning for all scenarios, are you? How about the scenario that by 2015 the United States officially becomes a Third World country when the North American Union goes into effect? How much of a space program does a Third World nation have? That’s right. They don’t have space programs!!

Even if we escape becoming part of a union with Mexico, we will have so many non-Whites in America by 2015 that 90 percent of the federal budget will go to feeding and providing medical care for them. Six-tenths of one percent of the federal budget will look “good” by then as NASA funding gets wiped out completely.

By 2015, there simply won’t be enough competent White engineers, scientists and designers left to create and staff a lunar program. Every year, aerospace companies must allow in a larger and larger percentage of Blacks and Latinos to make up federal racial quotas. The competency to send astronauts safely into space (and back) is quickly being lost.

When I was a boy, I remember reading science fiction writers like Robert A. Heinlein, Brian Aldiss, Edmond Hamilton, Alfred Bester and Arthur C. Clarke, all of whom created vast worlds of space travel dated far in the “future.”. Many of them thought we would be exploring other solar systems by the 1980s. I think we all assumed back then that by 2007 it would be possible to buy a ticket on a commercial space liner to our first Mars colony.

Diversity has already robbed us of our space program. Next it will take all our disposable income in taxes for a growing horde of non-White parasites and finally it will make life literally impossible as a flood of gang members start invading the suburbs to rob old White people trying to live out their retirement. We have seen the harm Diversity has already done. We need to take back our government while we still can!!!

Hogwash and Bladerdash. Say I. Ain't got nothin to do with it.

SPACE SYSTEMS SOLUTIONS

Today, the demand for radiation-hardened devices is being largely driven by growth in satellite-based communications services for Internet access, global positioning, mobile telephony and digital television. To meet the rigorous demands of the space market, Intersil offers a complete portfolio of radhard ICs, including an extensive line of Star*Power™ radiation hardened power management products.

If the radiation in space is that hard on 'devices,' just how hard do you suppose it is on people?!

What?! That ain't enough?!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hardening

Radiation hardening is a method of designing and testing electronic components and systems to make them resistant to damage or malfunctions caused by high-energy subatomic particles and electromagnetic radiation, such as would be encountered in outer space, high-altitude flight and around nuclear reactors.

Space Radiation Poses Serious Obstacle to Future NASA Missions

NASA's goal of returning astronauts to the Moon by 2020 and pushing on to Mars will require significant strides in both understanding and warding off hazardous space radiation, according to a report released Monday.

NASA has long known that astronauts on long-duration flights to the Moon or Mars will be subjected to higher levels of radiation from solar flares and cosmic rays than those aboard the International Space Station (ISS), which flies within the Earth's protective magnetic field.

But those far-flung missions may prove intractable unless the space agency makes major leaps on both the biological and solar physics fronts, according a report entitled "Space Radiation Hazards for the Vision of Space Exploration," released by the National Research Council.

http://www.nature.com/news/2004/040202/full/news040202-18.html

Researchers have long been aware that radiation in space is a problem, thanks to energetic particles called cosmic rays that are left over from the Big Bang. Earth's magnetic field stops us from being bombarded by these rays, but astronauts in space have little to protect them.

And etc. etc. I could continue. Space is not empty; it is FULL of radiation of different types, none of which is conducive to a long life here on earth. And an aluminum spacecraft, which is the only thing that can be lifted up into space from the earth with the existing technology, is no protection.

I suppose this could now degenerate into a discussion as to IF anyone has actually gone to the moon.... and the comments that the reason that Russia never made it there is because THEY did not have hollywood... but why bother.

The propulsion technology was in already in hand in the late 1950s:

The Orion team worked for seven years on a series of increasingly detailed designs. The largest version, called an advanced interplanetary ship, was 185 feet in diameter, 280 feet high, and weighed 10,000 tons. Propelled by 800 15-kiloton bombs, it was powerful enough to carry a payload of 6,100 tons into orbit, 5,700 tons to the moon, and 1,300 tons on a three-year trip to an inner satellite of Saturn and back. “No technical reason has been found that would render the concept not practicable,” the engineers wrote in their final report. “On the contrary, all indications today point to the straightforward achievement of operational objectives with this form of propulsion in times and for monies that appear very reasonable in context with present-day National policies and objectives.” Yet neither this design nor any other like it received a green light

Project Orion

Right. And........ now they would use atomic bombs for a little extra.... zip, right?

After you look at enough of this 'stuff,' you begin to think that, just maybe, there are other reasons why not.

Not sure what you mean. Care to elaborate a bit ?

Actually, not really. I am in two arguments (;)) in two threads and have my hands full! And besides, most of what I would say would just be a repeat about the radiation in space, as I posted in number 1 of this thread.

Simply put, there is no way to travel in outer space. To much radiation.
