re: Do you think NASA could put another man on the moon in a 7 year timeframe?

I wonder how many people realize we've been to the moon more then once...like 7 times with people.

Give them 4% of the federal budget and it could be done.

I've done it on Kerbal Space Program plenty of times

This country won't do it again (or any other significant space mission). We're a tired country now more obsessed with comfort and "diversity".

If given the proper funding we could do it within the year. No doubt about that.
2 years is probably more likely.

JFK called for the US to put a man on the moon in 1962. Apollo 11 happened in 1969. Personally I doubt NASA could do it again within the same timeframe.
If you're involving budgets, beurocracy, red tape, etc that's one thing, but it sounds like you're just asking if you think it's even feasible. Is that right?
Because if so, it is laughable if you think we couldn't replicate something now that was done nearly 50 years ago considering the difference in technology.

My question was based more on the fact that NASA is working with a fraction of the budget it once had. Also that it doesn't have a vehicle to get there, and that it seems like red tape and bureaucracy have increased to the point that it will be years before we have a vehicle that could make the trip. Relying on a Russian Soyuz capsule to get up and down doesn't exactly endorse our ability to master space at the moment.

That is, if we are willing to accept the same level of risk.

Right after they fix "climate change" and finish up telling us about Muslim contributions to science
There is no national will to do jack shite so any discussion is a nonstarter.
That, and the white guys and Asians driving it would have to carry some affirmative action baggage

Might want to check your math there. Apollo13 never made it to the moon. We have been 6 times.

What's life on Mars going to be like? Living indoors? Going outside and being bombarded by radiation?

The space between objects within a galaxy is so vast that it is highly unlikely our solar system will be affected by our merger with Andromeda

The aliens have mining operations going on up there and don't really want us up there

No way because the infrastructure no longer exists. Kennedy Space Center is a ghost town made up of empty buildings. It would take one hell of a commitment to rebuild those facilities.
Posted on 3/5/16 at 9:48 am to NYNolaguy1
I think they could do it. But I believe it would be due more to the advances in technology than to the caliber of personnel involved.

We put 5 roughnecks on an asteroid in like a month, I think we could knock out another moon landing if we wanted to.

That's exactly what Tom Hanks wants you to think...
