Augustine Commission Zubrin finale and Squires on the superiority of human exploration

[SatelliteGalaxy]

China is already planning on manned trips to the moon. They have LOTS of money too.

The U.S. Could pay the Chinese for access to the moon. This would be more economical.

The Chinese are not stupid enough to go to the moon. They will develop asteroids and establish the infrastructure for Mars settlement. --Or hopefully someone will. : )

I really enjoy watching him speak. His inthusiasm is overwhelming. Zubring knows how to light up that fire of adventure in people.

I really wish they would take his words seriously and give them consideration.

Hi sirachman, you are welcome to post video responses to this...your Augustine uploads are fantastically informative. Cheers!

(apparently the borrowed camera I was using saved video in a considerably smaller frame than its view finder...)

[sirachman]

Great footage, thank you!

If anyone has video of commission members at the conclusion of Zubrin's testimony, when applause erupted, it would be worth posting. Several of them jumped in surprise. They were quite startled!

MARS DIRECT!!

Cowards return to the moon! Heroes go to Mars and beyond!
