New Mars Forums

2218 to the moon? How exicting. I can't wait when i am 75 years old (if no one is stupid enough to cause a big war or i croak before then) when the first manned missiom to mars will happen. After all i am only 17 i got my whole life to look forward to this.

Will the convention be aired on the Internet?

It seems like those guys KNEW of the new planet Xena since 2003. They only released the information when a hacker threatened to do it himself.

Wow. I have never ever seen any of those clouds before. All we get in London is the boring cloud that we keep seeing day in day out.

"Astronomers have detected what they are calling the '10th planet' orbiting our Sun.

It is bigger than Pluto, the ninth planet, which is 2,250 km across, and was discovered by three US astronomers. "

There is just one hurdle. Money and technology. We don't have billions of dollars. Starting our own space program costs money. Also the level of technology hasn't grown for a private exploration.

Maybe some day though.

I hate waiting. At the rate NASA is going they will eventually go to Mars but it will probably still be for those lucky astronauts who have a distinguished Air Force carers.

Unless Ansari X-Prize produces alternatives.

Seen a bit from it. The guy who made it Ronald D.Moore was behind the best Star Trek show. Deep Space Nine.

Yes me to but why did you have to make 2 posts with the same message?

They are peeing in their pants probably. They can't say if this is dangerous even if it was.

I hope this urges them to drop the shuttle program.

Anger. You really can't expect people in the Middle East to like America when America is providing and protecting Israel. It doesn't help the matter when American foreign policy allows it to topple government of a weaker country that it doesn't like or attacking other countries for false reasons.

When you watch Bush and Blair speak about terrorism they make it sound like the terrorists are a sad lonely and depressed people who want to opress others. Have they been smoking something? Fighters in Chechnya want to be free their country from Russian control. These people have a reason for doing what they do. The only reason they fight like this is because they don't have a big budget to spend on a military like America and UK does. So they try the David style of slaying Goliath.

At the end of the day politics sucks. Gives me a head ache every time i think about it.

I don't want to be evil or something like that. Lets just say theoretically that Discovery meets the same fates has Colombia. Would that be good for Space or not? Since it will probably force the retirement of the shuttle earlier.
