| We need to build a moon base before then. Reply • Back to Top |
| Moon base before 2050? Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Umm, way before then. We have the technology. If I told someone in 1969 that we still didn't have a Moon Base, they would be angry and embarrassed for the future of this nation. Its been nearly 50 years since we first went to the Moon, and we still haven't managed to return since the 70s? Its sad how far the space program has sunk since the 70s. Reply • Back to Top |
| I know we have the technology, but how practical/beneficial will it be to have one? Reply • Back to Top |
quote: There's no doubt about that. The space race was such an awesome point in man's history. Give a pile of very smart people a challenge and enough resources and they can make amazing things happen. Boy if we could ever return to that glory. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: It won't pay off for a good 20-40 years to be sure, but it would be heavily beneficial to the US. We'd own the fricking Moon more or less and anyone who wanted to get resources from it would have to contend with us. It also serves as the optimal location to blast off to asteroids and other planets compared to Earth. The cost to start up a Moon Base is .5% of the current price the War on Terror has cost us. And to those saying they won't see it pay off until near the end of their lifetime, every generation will use this bull shite excuse until China or Russia make it there first. We need to grab the bulls by the balls if we are still to be the dominant super power for centuries to come. Reply • Back to Top |
| Im just gonna leave this here Reply • Back to Top |
quote: I just really think we should take our time going to Mars and make sure that everything is accounted for, unless of course the Chinese or the Russians make a grab to get there first, which we can't have any of that shite. Its crazy to think in a decade we could actually be there though. Reply • Back to Top |
| Just watched it, that is pretty interesting. Of the 4 they send first I have to imagine it'll include be a physicist, engineers, and a doctor. Reply • Back to Top |
