If ESA (european space agency) would also get their thumbs out their behinds and give a decent competition to NASA, situation on both sides of the atlantic would improve

As long as it doesn't involve ICBM development this time. :up:

Well, if we ever intend to get to Mars, we're going to need Inter-Planetary Ballistic Missiles. ICBMs just would be enough.

that is actually the Individual Cab Ballistic Mobility system, one person shuttles for high speed EU-USA transit. You sit inside the rocket and get launched towards your destination

"Charles Bolden, the Nasa administrator, talks to Al Jazeera's Imran Garda about the US relationship with the Middle East after Obama's so-called Cairo initiative, reaching out to the Muslim world, international contribution to the space mission, the constellation project, Nasa's challenges, militarisation of space, the US leadership role in space, and life in space".


Out of context much?

And while they are at it I would certainly hope that they stay on track with NASA's intended mission of exploring space. Mars is a long, long ways away from the primitive ISS missions.
Couldn't agree with you more (as usual):yeah:

That does come with braking chutes, I hope? :DL Would make for a rather messy arrival without them. :hmmm:

This is what happens when you try to fly on just a left wing.

Sounds to me like a fishing expedition for investors, and let's not forget that Persia was at the cutting edge of scientific thought way back when.

I hear NASA is aiming towards a space colony mmo game. If it was any good that would be a fine way to raise funds and educate the masses.

There is a free early concept game on Steam now, though I have not tried it.

The concept on Steam is free, but the big one they're working on using the Unreal 3 engine will be subscription based.

Very cool. :DL
