Respectfully, there's no way Newt would be able to secure funding for manned missions beyond LEO. I share your enthusiasm for manned space exploration as much as the next person, but with the Constellation program dead there's no way we're going to, say, put a permanent base on the moon by 2020 as he would like. Never mind the president. Congress controls the money. They're the real obstacle.
Of the need for manned space travel into the solar system, celebrated Aerospace Engineer Robert Zubrin said "So there's the choice in life: one either grows or one decays - grow or die. I think we should grow." Do you suppose Mitt Romney knows more about science than Robert Zubrin? Let's vote for a president who doesn't live in the 14th Century and who actually shares the vision for manned space travel - let's vote for Newt!
@Ralokone Okay you got me on that point, but just look at all the promising tech that's been allowed to languish at the fringes of aeronautical design because if they where allowed to fly we would be game changers for the status quo, the Roton Rotary Rocket for one, the novelist Tom Clancy invested in it saying it was a craft akin to the Covered Wagon which opened up the West in frontier times - but this time for earth orbit, Barclays Bank got involved and suddenly, Roton no more...

Or religious bullies, or greedy corporates.
@kokofan50 i forgot where i read that..but other people were saying that nasa would send alot of supplies before the dude even lands...so he could survive and by that time..like other people would show up 2 or 3 years later and he could go home..
How about we stabilize the Earth first, before we head out. With the mentality of growing and growing, to what extent? Until all energy resource in the universe are exhausted? I'm for the advancement of our species, but lets fix the issues at hand, and head out into space with wisdom and understanding.
@superchamp94 /watchv=P9AZTGcNecA&list=PLDA9261009BA0E866&index=11&feature=plpp_video, wtach this and you understand how what you have just writen is stupid
@kokofan50 I never said we should stay on our little rock until our sun dies. We have enough time, enough time to fix our problems, and explore about ourselves, "to learn about ourselves" as explained in that video. We have war, religious prejudice, economic collapse, destabilization of countries, starvation, and disease. When we have the resources and time to explore, then by all means lets see whats awaiting us. If we leave now, we have the risk of bringing our problems across many worlds...
@superchamp94 Think about it in the position of a Mars colony in the future, if there is a war going on, other countries might want to stake claim to other parts of mars. Religion as well would work in this case. How would the starving Earth feed the Mars colony at its conception (we have to terraform her first, which doesn't happen quickly and without resources, and time). We are too war-like, either Humanity needs to drop its weapons and work together, or were screwed.
@superchamp94 If you read A Case for Mars by Zubrin you dont need to terraform Mars to grow food. What you need are pressurized domes and plants that can thrive in the iron rich soil.
@superchamp94 Humans aren't quite that destructive, at least the ones with degrees in astrophysics aren't. War is a political thing, it won't just magically follow us to Mars, we won't let that happen.
@superchamp94 You watched the video and didn't even understand what it said. By going to space we help understand our problems and leads to fixing them. Go back and watch watch the video again. Understand the point about Veins. If we limet our selves to the Earth we'll think that the Earth is all there is and fight over our ideas and the Earth.
@superchamp94 A colony on Mars will reinvigorate us. It will change our society away from apathy, corruption and other nasty things. A colony would attract pioneers from every horizon of life.
@minameise I want to get to Mars before I die too, but the reason Dr. Zubrin says it is because we have to it quickly before the will to it fads and we have put off getting it done.
Hear what God of Israel YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH (Son and Father are ONE) saying to our generation by His chosen prophets: Trumpetcallofgodonline. com ; Letter called "Purify Your Faith, and Come to the Father as It is Written": EXCERPT: "Only in the Bible and through these very Letters, of which I have given to My prophet of the end of this age, shall you find Him and know Him."
@Barcode11 even Mercury has a small atmosphere. being a burnt rock, it's still abundant with...water too. Hmm, Just because a place doesn't have a full atmosphere like we do........
We are not screwing up the planet as bad as many would think. Yes we are, but the time scale is beyond our own lives. Yes, we can do something now to change some things. To think that we would go to Mars and mess it up like what were doing here is a bad thought process. Stop playing Red Faction and read a few books.
@overusedoxymoron2003 The time scale of our lives is not so important to me. The eventual survival of humanity is, and I believe that we have a far better chance of terraforming Mars if we first become sustainable here. In fact, if we first become sustainable here, it becomes inevitable that we (1) terraform mars eventually and (2) do it sustainably. Otherwise we risk failing.
@ErgoProxy12345 We're not bound to screw it up on earth. Nothing wrong with having a security planet either. Just watch out for the crazies who say that we *must* reach Mars if it means terraforming Earth into a wasteland to do so.
@invrnrv the point is that if we are bound to screw it up on earth, we can have a place to run off to. We only have 1 planet and must care for it. But maybe with technology we might make ourselves a security planet just in case...
@invrnrv Umm....earth has already bee terraformed over the course of hundereds of millions of years. You want to help cut down greenhouse gass emissions? Stop eating corn-fed beef. Seriously, the herds of corn-fed cattle across the world produce a hundred times more methane than all of the cars on the planet.
@sulljoh1 That's wrong. Robots can't do some of the things humans can, so from the scientific point of veiw it's best to send humans that can do those things.
we all need food. we all need to eat or we die together. and now on mars as it is on earth it leaves no choice for the individual or to the state: we all must eat. we can all eat together or else we will most certainly eat separately.
@Icedoggy924 there is soil and water there, and we can grow food with hydroponics (since it takes 6 months to even get there we'll have to be good at it)
Problems have solutions, we need to get off this planet before we get hit by a massive asteroid :P
And then everyone turns into creepy water monsters. ...or becomes dark and golden-eyed. Y'know, depending on whether you're a Bradbury fan or a Whovian. Whichever your preferred flavor of sci-fi is. Me, I'll just stay nice and safe back on Iorrt.
@newe6000 We haven't totally fuck up the Earth, and even if we had we can't make Mars much worse for life as we know it. This is part of the scientific advance ment that will save the Earth too, so we will have two planets to live on.
@kokofan50 Quite true. The entire human race cannot accomplish in centuries what a single volcano can do in a few hours. Humans produce millions of tons of pollution a year, and most of that is digested by the biosphere. Volcanic plumes can potentially excrete millions of times more, blotting out sunlight for months or years. A rock from space the size of an aircraft carrier can kill billions, something only full scale nuclear war can do. Nature is far harsher than man.
@overusedoxymoron2003 I wouldn't say that humans can't do what nature can. An aircraft carrier sized asteroid wouldn't likely be as bad as you make it out to be (I'm not saying it would be bad just no that bad).
The problem is, mar's waters were erased by solar winds, which were caused when it lost it's atmosphere because.....it slowed down, and it's magnetic field was lost. Humans will not figure out how to reverse that in ten years. However, it would be a great first step to finding a planet outside the range of our dying sun, and a great place to start experimenting. Love the guitar pattern, by the way.
1 Mars still has waterin the form of ice and maybe even some liquid water under ground
2 Mars' magnetic feild isn't gone just alot weaker and it's do to cooling of the core not the spin of the planet.
3 If we terform Mars it would take the solar winds 100,000 to 100,000,000 years to strip away the atmosphere again. That's more than enough time to fix and problems
@kokofan50 one problem Mars HAS liquid water underground. Otherwise the ice caps could not expand again after they shrink.(seasonal retreating and advancing) we just don't know if it's near the equator where there is more light for electricity.
@starwolf5051 What do you mean by "air"? If you mean beathable atmosphere your right, but we can change that. If you mean no atmosphere at all you're dead wrong, or there wouldn't wind, dust deivls, and the dust storms Mars is well knowen for.
@CollateralTrickshots No, the Hubble will take us there, the first building shall be christene Galileo, and the City of Sagan will help us grow on Mars.
This video gives me hope yet in our progression as a species. when carl sagan said "mars is a world of wonders" at first i didnt understand. how could a desolate place offer us anything. than i looked beyond the cosmetic face of mars and looked at the possibilities. Mars is beautiful.
How stupid are we, as a race, that we want to go to Mars? We know more about Mars than we do about our own oceans. We give NASA more money in a day than we give to NOAA in a year, and for what? How much benefit do we get from a dozen or so people setting foot on another planet vs. our race learning how to live on this one? We need to stop wasting our time with the theoretical and start caring more about the practical. Geology and oceanography may not be sexy, but they actually benefit humanity.
@wakrusgumbo How stupid are you as a person? To limit yourself. That's like saying i'm never going to club again. You go out, you learn, you meet things, you discover something. You go down the street, you meet someone, You travel 1000 miles away and you see things you never though of. You travel a billion miles and further the human race.
How does 12 people swimming in the ocean help me? The same way 12 people landing on mars does. The same way 12 people Digging in the dirt does.
If we did a good job on Mars, maybe we could leave Earth alone for a few centuries to rest? You don't need to explain anything to me there, I know what would be said.
I just read an article that NASA is launching a new rover to Mars on Saturday. Its called the Curiosity, and its as big as a car. 11 feet long, and 9 feet wide, and weighing almost a ton. Itll be the biggest machine sent to another planet by human beings, and will use a new deployment system using a thrust pack and a tension cord, like how helicopters deploy machines or equipment
we got limits you know... so to speak imagine a bunch of crabs that live in the bottom of the sea and they want to create a giant whale-like vehicule to colonize the beach...there are physical limits and a slim chance of succes..death is not a bad thing
@luckytom13 There are people that will advance our race further into the incline of time, and then there are people like you, with fruitless ideologies, who will perish unremembered.
@YourMotherDear thats what im sayin mom..we got limits here on earth and heres an example.
cannabis is illegal so that mean some of the planetar plants will be illegal because we are still to stupid...we look like monkeys comperd to a stars civilization
@luckytom13 I still disagree with your ignorance though. Those videos clearly state that waiting for our species to mature is not a bad thing, but a possible gamble. It's a two-sided argument that should never be argued. These are days that have yet to come.
@YourMotherDear we are talkin og evolution of humans a process of thousands of years that dont mean anything to your survival...the way we are functioning may extinguish ourselves.
you talk about ignorance but yet you got a lack of awereness.
we dont belong there...we dont even belong to the third of the planet wich is water. i see a big lie in your life
@luckytom13 You have told me nothing I haven't agreed with already. I'm sorry, but your post confuses me. You have a lack of logic and grammar. I will not be responding to you any further.
@YourMotherDear you called me ignorant.I see whos more ignorant now...fuck grammar.. Yo hablo español, es mi lengua materna..lastimosamente nos falta mucho por aprender de nuestro propio planeta y dejar de creernos superiores.
Imagine what we could accomplish with the 1.6 trillion dollars spent annually on war... It'd be a field day for science. Pretty much unlimited research in every field every year.

@newe6000 We haven't totally fuck up the Earth, and even if we had we can't make Mars much worse for life as we know it. This is part of the scientific advance ment that will save the Earth too, so we will have two planets to live on.

@kokofan50 Quite true. The entire human race cannot accomplish in centuries what a single volcano can do in a few hours. Humans produce millions of tons of pollution a year, and most of that is digested by the biosphere. Volcanic plumes can potentially excrete millions of times more, blotting out sunlight for months or years. A rock from space the size of an aircraft carrier can kill billions, something only full scale nuclear war can do. Nature is far harsher than man.

@overusedoxymoron2003 I wouldn't say that humans can't do what nature can. An aircraft carrier sized asteroid wouldn't likely be as bad as you make it out to be (I'm not saying it would be bad just no that bad).

The problem is, mar's waters were erased by solar winds, which were caused when it lost it's atmosphere because.....it slowed down, and it's magnetic field was lost. Humans will not figure out how to reverse that in ten years. However, it would be a great first step to finding a planet outside the range of our dying sun, and a great place to start experimenting. Love the guitar pattern, by the way.

1 Mars still has waterin the form of ice and maybe even some liquid water under ground
2 Mars' magnetic feild isn't gone just alot weaker and it's do to cooling of the core not the spin of the planet.
3 If we terform Mars it would take the solar winds 100,000 to 100,000,000 years to strip away the atmosphere again. That's more than enough time to fix and problems
4 Our sun has billions of year left.

@kokofan50 one problem Mars HAS liquid water underground. Otherwise the ice caps could not expand again after they shrink.(seasonal retreating and advancing) we just don't know if it's near the equator where there is more light for electricity.

@starwolf5051 What do you mean by "air"? If you mean beathable atmosphere your right, but we can change that. If you mean no atmosphere at all you're dead wrong, or there wouldn't wind, dust deivls, and the dust storms Mars is well knowen for.

How stupid are we, as a race, that we want to go to Mars? We know more about Mars than we do about our own oceans. We give NASA more money in a day than we give to NOAA in a year, and for what? How much benefit do we get from a dozen or so people setting foot on another planet vs. our race learning how to live on this one? We need to stop wasting our time with the theoretical and start caring more about the practical. Geology and oceanography may not be sexy, but they actually benefit humanity.

I just read an article that NASA is launching a new rover to Mars on Saturday. Its called the Curiosity, and its as big as a car. 11 feet long, and 9 feet wide, and weighing almost a ton. Itll be the biggest machine sent to another planet by human beings, and will use a new deployment system using a thrust pack and a tension cord, like how helicopters deploy machines or equipment
