" 2. Personal computers and even the Internet has deep roots in the Apollo program. 3. Microwave ovens!!! The invention of this cool technology has a lot to do with Apollo."

Baloney!!
The spinoffs of Apollo were limited to space technology. I thought everyone knew this by now. I guess NASA´s propaganda is hard to counter.

The people who believe in the Japanese space program seem to forget that Japan is a different society, which is based on strong social ties. Sadly, for space activists, the Japanese society has grown used to pork politics.

So in a way one must educate the public that space really matters, but i´m not sure one can make that leap. Pork tends to be addictive.

Congratulations GCNRevenger, you are truly an asset for this thread. It´s about time people stop letting their emotions get in the way of clear thinking about Hubble´s fate.

But i suspect this is a lost battle.

I´m thinking on a little brother of Angara, borrowing the production methods of the SLV.

On the other hand, it doesn´t really matter if a TBM is unworkable, since the main function is political. Example the R-7.

The South Korean deal will only go forward if the core technology of the angara project can be used by the military .

So the question is, can a SLV be of use against North Korea?

It will become the space agency for the english speaking world.

Why?. Because they all share a common heritage in the social and political sphere, so it´s likely they will share a common vision of the future.
