Humans have always looked up at the sky. They used astronomy to track time, orient their cities, decide when to plant their crops, and even based their religious practices on their celestial world. But there was much more to learn.

Excellent review of 50 years in space. I was listening to the Russian Satellite "Sputnik" in Ottawa Canada on launch night. Frequency transmissions were 44Mhz and 22Mhz. The 'Beep' signal indicated the internal temperture of the satellite. The 'Free World" gave missinformation saying there was no satellite until March 1958 after the first US failure tosatellite launch.

Sure, we never went to the moon, and alle the 400'000 involved NASA Technicans are kept silent and the UDSSR haven't said anything, too, because they've been more interested in exposing the USA than some moon-hoaxer!

The only reason for no newer Moon-Expeditions is, that the moon is more boring than the mars, to say it in a secular way.

Spin off products from NASAs programs have benifited folks all over the planet

@datzfast Another useless argument. The relative number is 0.6% of the annual budget. Why not taking something from the defense budget? Or why not reducing some authorities? Does the USA really need 16 intelligence agencies? The health care is already payed with 16% of the GDP which is about 2.3 trillion US$.

[heinz1357]

@datzfast Ahem? Seriously? There were only 300000 people involved with the Manhatten Project, and many of them didn't even know what they were developing, this number involves civic helpers, logistics etc. that didn't even know about radiation. Of these were ~150000 involved in research and building, but only a few dozen knew they were going to build a nuke. And since a few dozen < 400000 you're argument is invalid.

By the way, what is the context to genocide?

[datzfast]

NASA budget 19 billion a year. enough to balance social security. enough for a health system. enough to free us from dependence on oil. this is not a great nation

its corrupt and dying of cancer..

[datzfast]

@Daavoid would you give everything so some one not you could go?

[datzfast]

@heinz1357 are not 95 percent of that nasa crowd dead i mean they were probaby all around 40 years old and it was 40 years ago and only 5 percent live to be 80. Americans may have really walked on the moon but your argument is really stupid. in ww2 we built an atomic bombs with 400k people and not one person spilled the beans to the press. as for the ruskies or communist the lie about massacars eveyday and even google helps them and that was probably 20 years ago. so shut the fuck up nigga plez
