Re: The Golden age ns The Goldin Age - with Zubrin Quotes

Spacedaily

Spacedaily seems to be very positive towards all things Dr. Zubrin related, lately smile Altough in this article they quote him as an example of 'wrong reasoning'  sad

Still, as Warhol said, positive or negative, it doesn't matter, as long as your name is in the papers big_smile

Re: The Golden age ns The Goldin Age - with Zubrin Quotes

From the article:  "The myth goes like this: The old NASA of the 1960s performed miraculous feats of technical development and project management. The new NASA of the 1990s has utterly failed at these tasks. To fix spaceflight..."

*Rehash:  We have the technology; there's just not a lot of public support or interest in the 1990s to current. 

There is a long laundry list of things that went wrong in the 1960s (it's a miracle the Ruskies didn't beat us to the moon)...culminating in the horrific fire which killed Grissom, Chaffe and White as they were testing.  I don't remember it (was just an infant), but :::shakes head sadly::: it's beyond horrific...it could have been avoided.  Apollo 13 anyone?  It's nearly unbelievable that those guys got back alive.
