But it's really a shame that all the great advancements in human pioneering at that time was just driven by war and rocket tests. By the time we go to Mars in person we should have changed.

The "Terrorists" should begin their own space agency and thus the race will begin again

I'm rather dubious about saying this, but it says something about America when space exploration is only seriously considered while we're at war. That violent time set a very bad precedent, and we need to stop attributing it to the cold war.

@BikiniDeathSquad: You need to do some reading, dude.

@JImmy4336: Totally agree. Our education system was much better back then.

[JImmy4336]

"That's some other kind of America." I agree completely. We need the attitude of the 1960's back.

@ScienceofWinning U can bounce signals off the moon anyway?? Dnt they call it a satalite aswell. Ur concrete has cracks

@DistortedV12 You think that the fact that we will all die means we should consider God? Why? Do you fear death? If so, I would again ask, why? I don't need to imagine that I will go to a magical place that can somehow accommodate everyone that has ever died and ever will die. I'm no more afraid of the day that I die than I am of the year 1800, after all, I didn't exist then either. One shouldn't fear death, or invent fantasies of what happens after. Use the time you have to its fullest.
