It makes me feel good that finally we don't have a bonehead in office who's trying to distract us from a war by telling us that we're going to go to the Moon.
It's the right choice, because manned spaceflight is totally unnecessary. Probes and rovers and extremely efficient, very technical, very capable, cheap, and don't endanger human lives. Seriously, can you name a single experiment that has *ever* been done in orbit, from the first Skylab module to the "International" Space Station that has done anything good for humanity? Even a little bit? For instance, lighting a match and being really excited to see that it snuffed itself out? Who couldn't figure that one out on the ground -- and if we couldn't what meaning does it have to us on the surface? Breakthroughs in metallurgy? Medicine? Pure science? Why was it important to see what kind of web a spider wove in "zero-g"?
I hope that "for now" it is the end of the road for U.S. manned space exploration. It's propaganda and otherwise a complete waste of time, money, and resources.
This is coming from an optimistic scientist.So is it true about the cancellation of the constellation space program?I think its stupid but other countries will still continue their space exploration programs.So is it true about the cancellation of the constellation space program?For now, but we still have unmanned probes.
