So, I understand the mars plan, but why the hell are we going back to the moon? What exactly does he hope to accomplish by that, besides wasting money? Maybe he's thinking that's where we'll find Osama. Does anyone else get the feeling that six months from now, we'll be seeing this news flash:
'Extra! Extra! Moon no different than it was fourty friggin' years ago!!'

isnt the idea that it would be a mars jump-off point. id say the moon is kind of like a boat, kind of fun, but really just a hole to bury money in. and our buddy W likes burying money.

Okay, I'll give you that we don't know all that much about he moon, but doesn't it seem like that should be a pretty low priority? The timing seems a little questionable. It's election year, Iowa and NH caucauses are up, America is scrutiniving its democratic candidates, we're still in Iraq, (God knows why) and then there's that old Bin Laden fella, but all of a sudden, GW wants to play astronaut. Maybe there are reasons, maybe it's distraction, maybe I'm a conspiracy theorist, maybe I'm amazed. But it still seems quite conveniently out of the blue.

HA! You gotta be kidding, tell me you're kidding. That is so stupid. How many more hundreds and hundreds of years do you think it would take to develop that technology and even THINK about getting to another planet and colonising it. People of today don't give a flying fuck about what happens down the line, they can't see past their own lifespan, the USA sure as hell can't anyway, this has assfuck-all to do with the 'preservation of life' or 'bettering of the human race', this is Bush trying to build his own little empire.

tax cuts should have never have happened! and now spending money on this shit on top of the wars we are conducting! I mean it shoulds cool to launch shuttled off the moon to mars but not with a trillion dollar debt.

The more money the government spends, the more money that floats around, stimulates the economy. The U.S. government is the largest spender in the world. And its working now isn't it?

I love how everyone's bitching about the mission and money spent now, when the rovers actually launched last summer.

Unfortunately alot of that money stays stagnant.

I think it is stupid to even try to get a person to Mars just because it will take two years to get there and two years back in that amount of time in space we really dont know if a human body can stand that long of period in space. A few years ago there was a guy that was in space for a little over a 100 days cant remember the exact amount of days but the guys body basically fell apart it took him like a week to walk again and he lost some bone mass. So by sending a man to mars were wasting lots and lots of money and we dont even know if a person could be in space that long. And going to the Moon hmmmm havent we already been there I dont anything has changed that would be lots of money to waste.

i think a european space agency is sending some sattelite or something to the south pole of the moon to explore a part that has never been explored before. its hoping to find ice in a giant crater. has anyone else heard of this?

^who cares about fucking ice craters...what are we gonna do go there and fetch ice so we can melt it as water here and then sell it as magical moon water. They should definitly invest their money in better ways with space programs.

Just a thought

i am sure it has already been said, but all of you must know an immense number of everyday products that we use come from the space program. nasa invents new technologies out of necissity, and after that companies dupont and and other manufactuers are able to produce those things en masse. this leads to more jobs, and yada yada yada... you know the theory from there on out. so i say lets go. to mars, orthe moon, or wherever... there is a reason that people from all over the world come to the U.S. to have their ground breaking surguries, and to access the forefront of technology... and it wouldnt be that way if we were a run of the mill socialist nation like the scandanavian countries or canada... the euros have their own economic difficulties with their whole eu and the additions of impoverished nations like poland... so thank goodness for capitolism. it is what keeps this country ahead of the game.

Dude I think you totally missed the point of this thread. Re-read it.

THis mars talk is just a huge coverup by Bush. Sure exploring other planets is a very important thing but not when we are fighting wars, facing a huge national debt that we should be working to pay off not making worse and that fact that the unemployment rate is the highest its been since the depression. We need to work on preserving th eland we are on and also creating jobs. Bush has only created 3million new jobs since taking office. Tha tis the lowest since the early 1900's. I jsut dont see how mars can be a priority right now.

hey moron, the national debt is a completely arbitray figure. It has and always will continue to grow, we've been in debt for a very long time and we will never get out of it. There is no point in trying to pay it off, because we can't and it wouldn't make any difference if we were in debt or clear.

you guys dont seem to realize how little money he pledged to this project. Do you not understand how much money Bush is spending on defense and shit right now? Honestly...go read a fucking book.

The Nasa bonus is NOTHING compared to what else is being spent. Not even enough to make a blip on the debt radar.

i agree with yeti on this one. i believe that very few of you have any idea what you're talking about. most you probably just heard about this on Newschoolers and all of a sudden have formed an uneducated opinion. this one is for the bush haters out there, i look at your names and realize that most of you are youngins meaning that you probably have no knowledge about politics and that you just jumped on the 'i hate bush' bandwagon before even looking into what he's about!!

/\ totally. You guys can't start making politcal statements from what you hear on the News, which has a liberal bias anyway. Its funny to me that all you guys can do is re-state what your left-wing teachers and parents are telling you whats right/wrong. Please think for yourself and open your eyes so you can read what you guys are saying.

what the fuck are you on 'the news is liberal' HAHAHAHA

your a fuckign tool. don't get me wrong, i'm all for this exploration of space and whatnot, but bush is still a fucking asshole.

Sure my parents are right-wing fundamentalists. I'm pretty sure my teachers don't preach about how all non Aryan's should be exterminated.

So yeah, you're right. I'm a leftie, enviro-freak obsessed with communal living and the extermination of capitalism. Bush is a monster who should be eliminated, blah blah, you've already stopped reading because your facist right-wing attention span lasts 5 seconds, now you're writing nasty hate male because i have a hammer and sickle as my picture.

I jumped on the hate bush bandwagon. Does that make it wrong? Of course not. Does that make your right? No.
