What is that at 1:00 ?

[619badazz13]

man has never been past earths orbit

[mogetossj4]

the human race will one day travel to the space like how we travel to other countris and some people will work in the moon or mars that will be in the future I hope that.

these probes are fantastic. if only they could auto-refuel on the bodies they travel to? if vesta turns out to have a large amount of water ice; this could make it a more desirable destination than Mars for manned expeditions? we're getting better at this. telemetry is 10 million times better than the 1960's. If the power could be doubled for currently designed ion engines... there is a myriad of technologies humans have, just need to intergrate together into a fluent and efficient ship?

Hopefully one day someone cough*me*cough will create a safer way to get into space....cough*space elevator*cough

[bullcurr]

space is too extreme to ever be truly safe

[GeneralBerger]

you could say that about anything outside your own room, but i think humans are willing to take that risk since it is necessary for the survival of the human race. If we never leave this planet we are a doomed species.

@bullcurr yea with all the borgs, wraiths, and replicators around. it will never be safe.

[bullcurr]

no to expect a place full of high speed rocks, particles, radiation, absolute zero and whatever else is out there to be anything like safe is just being a pussy about it. We as a race need to face these realities, and press upward and not be cowards.

dwdrum49 and KH198.

Try learning how to form a coherent sentence, although, come to think im probably lucky that you make no sense.

[KH198]

What a waste of fuel. NASA are geniuses and yet they still use pathetic technology to get to space. Why not save that fuel for a mission and invent a way to get to space with the use of energy from the vessel. Surly it wouldn't be to difficult.

[Orizan]

You're right, it shouldn't be that hard, now get on it.

[JuliusScenester]

haha, awesome

Was a rocky mission with a lot of drama, glad to see it finally made it off the ground.
