Re: Mars Base Designed (Children/UN)

Ok, they designed it.  Now what are the odds of something like that happening within this decade?

Re: Mars Base Designed (Children/UN)

This decade? Zero. Next decade though... really designing a Mars base won't be so silly.

Re: Mars Base Designed (Children/UN)

So what we should build our mars bases with is, paper mashes, plastic bags or Lego? The paper mashes base made by Slovenia looked the best to me.

Re: Mars Base Designed (Children/UN)

Anyone else find the thought of the UN having an "Office of Outer Space Affairs" both comical and disturbing? Its probably run by the Amish.

That said, this is an excellent example of objective based education. Give kids an overall goal and all the supporting things will make more sense. Kudos.

Re: Mars Base Designed (Children/UN)

I am very glad. The UN could have listened to the eco-feminists who consider all space exploration a 'penetrative act.'

Where is Camille Paglia when you need her?

Re: Mars Base Designed (Children/UN)

I serioulsy hope with every fiber of my being that we can avoid internationalizing Mars, let alone letting the blue helmets govern things.

The first words said on Mars shouldn't be 'we came in peace for all mankind' they should be 'I claim this planet in the name of the United States' (or European Union, or god help us the PRC, although if that's the case I hope we have the good sense to hit there ship with an ASAT with a high yeild warhead before it leaves LEO...a red mars is a frightning though....just kidding, mostly, and pun definetly intended)

Re: Mars Base Designed (Children/UN)

I'm not opposed a world governing body that musters the resources of member states to explore and colonize.

But the UN is farce. Even its name is a joke, the only thing the delegates are united in is contempt for New York State traffic laws.

The UN needs to be disbanded and the democracies of the world get together and set up a federal style democratic body to sort out common issues. If others want to join they got to work for it.

But this isn't the place for this kind of politics.

Re: Mars Base Designed (Children/UN)

At least they aren't bashing spaceflight. The UN University is in Japan, and they still have a love of the future. Here in the USA there seems to be a growing technophobia on both sides of the political spectrum--from those wanting to turn us back to the Dark Age--to Greens trying to turn us back to the Stone Age.

Re: Mars Base Designed (Children/UN)

Well thats because at the moment there is no power it it. You can be sure the moment we decide to do anything big up there this committee will be dragged in front of the General Assembly for questioning, and try to control it.

And there are people in America who would go along with that, cause, well, wrong forum.

Re: Mars Base Designed (Children/UN)

This UN comittee is responsible for holding all the details of space launches as ratified by the outer space treaty. Everything that is to be sent up, all satelites and other missions must give the UN there location and planned purpose this is stored in the register of Space objects and it is open to all for perusal. It is also a legal force and it would be responsible for discovery and notification of the security council of breaches or suspected breaches of the various space law.

In short if you drop something out of orbit and it hits some poor farmers barn in central asia this would be the comittee that would get the bit back for you but also fine you for the damage done. Welcome to the UN spacecops.

Office for outer space affairs, UN, Vienna
