i dream of going to space tourism in 2025 or 2030

NASA needs more funding, lots more. In the 60s when they were competing with Russia to be the first into Space & the first to the moon the US government was giving NASA waaaaaaay more than the budget they have today and that was over 40yrs ago.

Mabee if all the countries of the world stopped spending so much on weapons and squabbling with each other and all formed 1 NASA (worldwide organisation) and used the money instead on Space exploration we would already of been to Mars.

for man to survive as a species and to go to the stars 1St one world government. one government no need for nukes. armed forces only needed to help quail terrorist thus less spent on armies. 2nd consolidate all space programs into one and look at moon and mars colonization. the research in doing this would help in new tech for all on earth better health science and less starvation world wide. to bad man as a whole can not learn to live one another. We are doomed to go extinct not explore space.

JFK set the challenge to go to the moon in a decade over 40 years ago, if i ever get a similar power i will challenge humanity to reach the edge of the solar system, before the century is out!

@bkmalone86 Who is Obama ?

[bkmalone86]

For all of you who are entertained by Obama's thrashing of NASA. I would like to be the one to remind you that you are nothing but a fucking lemming, Obama could surrender America to Osama Bin Ladin and you would still like the idea as long as the man said it with a smile. You should eat a steaming pile of shit every time you have a thought instead of attempting to express it until you have bona fide proof that your IQ has doubled. Goggle "save constellation" click the youtube result = Fascism.

[dycarbon1]

We are wayy more likely to go extinct now the governments of the world no longer support space programmes. Thanks a lot!

[curea229]

What is wrong with you?

[curea229]

Bummer it's all been canceled.

I can understand canceling Ares V and the moon lander, but we really need Ares I and the Orion spacecraft, it's our only ticked to space without the Russians.
