  • the american space race is now in the hands of space-x falcon-9 rocket with dragon capsule (7 astronauts)...flying to the space station in 2011...(.falcon-9-heavy lift looks like a delta-4-heavy...)

  • @6americanflagsonmoon

    Hi, what space race? All the US has is a plan to cancel Constellation and give huge subsidies to commercial crew launch providers.

  • @MrDoriefs Thats the kind of thinking that makes u an idiot. Waste money exploring space with no home planet to return to. Take care of earth first and its inhabitants then u can go parading in the vaccuum of space all u want.

  • And this is why you don't put black people in charge.

  • What a blow to space flight this cancellation is.  I can understand the logic, but it just seems way too late for this decision to have been made. Between 2020 and 2030 is a long way off for that heavy lifter.

  • @Kapitananime why? People are starving, unemployment is high, our economy is growing slowly yet you want our tax money to be used in a useless mission?

  • Hey I have an idea!!!, less funding for the military industrial complex, and or Israel and more funding for NASA. The future of humanity. How does that sound?

  • "Question: Whats the "TIME TABLE FOR HEAVY LIFT

    ANSWER: We'll make a lot of CGI cartoons for the next 3 years, then cancel the program

  • "what I'm tasked to do"....Make the muslims feel better about themselves. Bolden, you SUCK

  • Enough with the 2020 and 2030 stuff. HURRY UP!!!

  • @Kapitananime They're some really slow turtles, huh?
