NASA Space Flight STS-121 Take Off

Also, it's not quite ready for Mars, but NASA hopes to get people on Mars by 2027. Optimistic?

Take off from the earth its too dangerous, build a moon base at the first.

You have to admit, he's right. USA may have beaten USSR in the space race, but both sides were largely using german scientists.
Awesome shuttle launch, btw. What a shame that it's slow by galactic standards.

Were not the germans you would still be just gazing at the sky.

look at the power in that thing :O!

When it takes off the smoke looks sick as

i think we should send one of these vessels to mars be good for exploration

impossible at the moment.

we can get the shuttle their, but there is not enough fuel to get their and BACK to earth. plus, the time spent up in space alone would be rediculous. it's 180 days just to get there, then 180 to get back. add exploration to that and its one long ass trip. so like i say, impossible with our technologies.

Shuttle cant even get there.  Not enough velocity...
