[KBAFourthtime]

What kinds of spacecraft are flying during the parts,

"Now the rest is up to us and there's a future to be won.

We must turn our faces outward. We will do what must be done."?

@KBAFourthtime: That's the Helios Prototype Solar-Powered Aircraft at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center

[DarkAngelKisses13th]

Anyone else get goosebumps? I did. Like eight times listening to this.

[DraconisDean]

Then five decades from Gagarin, 50 years to the day...

... we're puttering around in a tiny low-orbit space station, and haven't sent anyone to the moon in almost 30 years. Pathetic.

[Cybrludite]

Gets dusty in here around 2:45 or so.

@salemcripple I still like an old description "It's a dragracing winnebago" ;^) But truck does sing better.

@youlovelost13 True enough.

The system which about to be born on planet Earth is that of automation, centralisation of a level of efficiency not seen before: you first have to subdue the Globe in a benevolent enterprise and eliminate most redundant uncertainty in society; make any resources on the face of the Earth available to any reasonable project, which requires it; before venturing out beyond LEO on a long-term missions - that, I do agree with.

[youlovelost13]

Many people say we haven't accomplished anything since the golden age of space exploration, or that we now have to rely on the Russians. But that's simply not true! We know more about the universe now than we ever did, thanks to telescopes, probes, and satellites. Manned spaceflight over long distances may not be viable at the moment, but that doesn't mean we're not expanding our knowledge and horizons. Open your eyes, people - true science is about more than just sending people to cool places.

[Falcrist]

It's not just Obama, congress wrecked NASA's budget earlier this month, and shut down JWST.

This saddens me, because NASA is one of the biggest things I can point to as an example of how the US contributes to mankind.

[chengloki]

Atlantis made it safeley down, thank God. Our space program is now dead. We now haveto rely on the Russians, at 50,000,000 dollars a pop. What the hell has happened to our country? Oh, I know, that idiot in the white House!!! =Stefan=

As long as there are willing volunteers we should ride the fire. NOT because it's the best or cheapest way to conduct scientific study of the cosmos, but because it teaches us about supporting life for extended periods away off earth. Because of it's inspirational value. Because its brings humanity together. Because if humanity is to have a long term future we have to go. Because there is something deep in the human psyche that drives us to be wanderers and explorers.
