Tough and competent. Tough because we will never again shirk from our responsibilities because were forever accountable for what we do, or what we fail to do. Competent, because we will never again take anything for granted, we will never stop learning. From now on the teams in mission control will be perfect As a team, we must never fail. -Gene Kranz, Director NASA Mision Control reciting the "Kranz Dictum" following the Apollo I Disaster
Those two shuttle disasters occurred because twenty years after the Kranz Dictum, the new management at NASA didn't give a flying fuck about it. Challenger is the perfect example of a disaster that never would've occurred under the watch of Gene Kranz.
Did I say anything about Gene Kranz? Or any other flight director for that matter? I have the upmost repsect for the astronauts, engineers and mission control. I do not have respect for adminstrators that run the program and for the system that makes it more comfortable to sacrifice safety for money (as is always the case for unessesary government programs) Gene is a good man, a good man that would attain the same level sucess even if the government didnt monopolize space travel.
I'm not saying you did say anything about him. I was just commenting on something that you definitely agree with. That, the words of Gene Kranz have traveled in one ear and out the other of NASA's higher ups.
At the time of the Challenger disaster, Gene Kranz was the Director of Flight Operations at NASA. However he was long retired when Columbia broke apart over Texas in 2003
"And I'm sure you'll still be screaming your nonsense about pigs and farmers when manned missions return to the moon."
They can't go today because of the radiation shielding dilemna, and the need to develop an ACTUAL, WORKING, lunar module...But they went back in 69? Hmmm? I guess we regressed technologically the last forty years eh? Apollo was television fantasy for mass consumption, and your dumb ass is still choking on it! Still leaving teeth under your pillow too?
The Apollo Program was a goal born out of political necessity. America HAD to beat the Soviet Union. Political supremacy depended on it. And the astronauts absorbeda lot of cosmic radiation during the Lunar flights. But the risk, at the time, was acceptable. If was a different world back then, people were a lot less PC.
America at its best. Innovative, smart, resourceful and leading the way for the world. Please America, forget politics and show us what you can do once again.
Estimates I read say a Mars 火星 mission would cost about 500 billion US$. I think that is still a much better deal than Iraq and I think people worldwide would want help support going to Mars. :)
Why not just eliminate NASA and privatize space travel? What has nasa done the last 40 years? Its wasted hundreds of billions of dollars, and killed about a dozen people. The only power given to the government in the constitution is for defense NOT busing humans into outerspace and getting them killed.
Privatize space travel? Then why didn't private enterprise enter space before very recently?
"Wasted" $100's of billions? Maybe so, but space travel is both expensive and dangerous. Put three astronauts on a 365-ft. tube of high explosives having a million parts, and if just one of those parts goes wrong badly enough, what do you have?
This isn't a constitutional issue. Believe it or not, some things (like exploring new worlds here and elsewhere) are best done by state-industry combines.
If you took time to do any research you would know that the government has a forced on monopoloy on space travel which is why the private sector has never entered space.
I am not denying the risks in space travel, but it is not an isignificant point that the bureaucratic admistration in NASA has made reckless mistakes and hasnt learned from them (as is the nature of bureaucracies).
Where in the constitution does it give congress the power to monopolize an industry? You cant tell me that space exploration is better done by the government because you have no free market scale to compare it to because the private hasnt been allowed into space, and besides what tangable resources does the government produce in the space program? Last time I check all of the funding and resources that go into the space program are from private individuals, so why do we need the government?
Actually, Gene Krantz is not the author of the phrase "Failure is not an option!". It was invented by the scriptwriter(s) of the movie Apollo 13, but was so well-liked by Krantz that he used it as the title of his memoirs on his career in Missiion Control. I think it captures the spirit, if not the text, of those dangerous days in April, 1970.
You can wish it to be true until the cow comes home...But when even the farmer has a look at the official videos and photos, he must conclude it to be the pig that NASA made it!
Failure is not an option, we all should be self driven by these words

Wow, it's nice to hear a non-American actually say nice things about us, thanks! I agree with you.
Cost of the Iraq war so far: $656 billion.
Estimated maximum cost of manned mission to Mars: $80 billion.
We could have gone to Mars 8 times for the cost of the Iraq war.
