If a man that is drowning refuses to extend his own hand to be saved will most likely Parrish.
Not to explore is just abuse to your future and fellow man!

The escape tower works, it has saved Russian cosmonauts in the past. And such a system would have saved the Challenger crew. Launch and landing are still by far the most dangerous parts of any mission.

the "ESCAPE ROCKET" should at least be dual purpose so it can be used as a booster for longer missions. SUch a waste!!!

@comanderw This huge and energy hog of an "escape" mechanism protects them for the 1/1000th of one percent of the duration of their flight! If ANY system fails during the flight to mars, they're STILL FUCKED. So, what's better? Mitigate risk during takeoff but have MORE STUFF for the 99% of the time in space or just spend 30% of the 1 billion dollar launch tag on this stupid rocket that only _MAY_ help in the first 2 minutes of flight. SEems ridiculously stupid... IMNSHO

still cant belive the u s doesn't have a manned space program your last 3 president let you down in a big way, the russians are showing you the way again how imbarasing.

@YoLninYo errrrrrr the escape tower is so thay dont die incase of problems and it will not save them in every case and for the rest of the time it will be on tv think about apollo 13

@Smokingfox3 LMAO....omg thats exactly what I was thinking!!

Half the weight of the launch vehicle is use to carry that stupid escape rocket which is jettisoned literally seconds after lift off... just so there is no spectacular DEATH VIDEO in the beginning of the flight which could give it "bad PR"... tells you where the priorities lie for NASA these days... If anything else fails during the 99% part of the mission, they're still fucked, but that's okay, at least it didn't happen on TV... wow NASA! really?

Welcome to the 60's folks. It's not only the hollywood that likes re-runs, we here at NASA-HASBEEN labs love it too!
What is this world coming to...when we fund our military so we can fight each other, but we cant fund NASA to insure that our species lives on by colonizing what we can. Earth won't be here forever, Obama.

@potrodsas no reason??? fucking 1/6 of earth gravity is the reason you freaking moron, all of you questioning the apollo missions are spitting in the face of the people who worked hard and even risked their lives for human discovery.
