If I read the diagram correctly, they launch, orbit Luna and then land on a twin earth?  :? 

Seriously, the diagram looks very involved, lots of docking, 6 launches per mission or am I mistaken?

Come on, guys...

This is about NASA budget, go yapping about Putin in free chat, willya? 

Ah. Very sane of you Robert. Thank you.

I voted 'No' to make you think there were Chinese voters amongst us
Seriously, I voted 'no' because it would maybe be good to be beaten to Luna. I mean it's not a landgrab contest as during the time of the exploration of the new world, where one would land and then proclaim the place to be under rule and possession of (insert king of choice here).

There are laws that prohibit that today, signed by most countries around the world and I don't think any country would risk a war over that.

Let them be first, it will only strenghten the resolve of other players to be there TOO, out in force, and not a mere flag and footprints charade.

Sounds good to me

another point to contemplate: on Earth pics you see the cloudcovers have shadows (darker bands around their edges) so they clearly float above the surface. Not sure that's easy to implement, but paybe it's just a ne extra layer in your graphic package of choice.

I posted that one, ATHLETE featured there too.

Maybe ATHLETE merits its own topic?

one of the 'buttons' above the errr... 'letterbox' in which you type your answers to post them. You can mouse over it to see how to use it..

Hi Melvin, and welcome to New Mars.

Nasawatch doesn't report it once again reported a sensationalistic piece of shite

Seriously, when I see the word 'Nasawatch', I become very wary, all he can do is naysaying to anything NASA does. It's just pathetic.
