I just hope the capsules more than twice the size of the apollo ones.
the apollo ones were cramped.
​
I just wish we could do it sooner than 2020 (heading to moon, that is).

Re: Messed Up Methods
what else can you expect from an administration that has done nothing but bungled it's way through everything?
​
oh, really funny, really cruel joke from Steven Colbert (and a touch old)
​
"I believe that that government which governs least, governs best, and we have a shining example of that in Iraq"
or something to that effect.

Re: Messed Up Methods
didn't jesus say something to the effect that there will always be poor in this life?
​
exploration is good--feedig the poor is a noble cause, but we must still explore. Besides, think of the boon of scientific discoveries.
​
hopefully, this will also push along our technological development.
​
space is good. of course, if we weren't paying half a trillion dollars for our defense department, we could use that money for other things--feeding and space.

You're right and wrong.
​
Project Orion
​
NASA and Lockheed's Orion
​
The first is the nuclear project--too bad no more research is being done on it. second one is the current Orion--a traditional, apollo style, rocket and capsule.
