What tests

For what

On replacement spines

i'm just shitposting and arguing everything for the chatpoints Grenade 😄

Jesus

Fuckijg Christ

gotta get ahead of princess Shivangi 😛

who wants to be queen

i mean, the only reason we don't have a moon base, Wol, is that we no longer cared as a country

Let me say this again

"We've" built artificial eyes my dude

If a person is born with a deformed spine

Like Ricky Berwick

Or Yung cripp

i mean, we cancelled a project to go back 20 billion dollars in because "we don't feel like it anymore":

i know Grenade, but my point is that when people say "we'll have X in the next 10 years" its always just wishful thinking

Or someone of that kind

As they grow

because 20 years later, its still "just 7 more years or so"

RIP constellation program

Their entire body grows to accomodate it

You can't simply replace the spine

Right but that also assumes that issue can't be fixed earlier on, or that there's no solution for it at all ever

hell, nano-technology to cure cancer was promised to us 5 years ago

You'd have to remake the bone structure

i read an article that maybe a good argument for defunding NASA in favor of the private sector.

Yes

Space X has accomplished incredible things

the issue with private sector is that it needs to be profitable

And until we can mine asteroids etc, theres not much profit in it 😦

and the whole point is because space projects take forever, and are expensive. so good luck getting and keeping them funded by like the 2-3 different administrations.

like Bush approved Constellation, then Obama canned it

FFS the ISRO is given to the privafe sector in India

funny how the democrats were anti-science 😄

good guy obama said "fuck that" to going back to the moon

They sent a satellite to mars at less than 300 million dollars

and apparently "completing" the ISS (the ISS has a complete state? tf?)

and now Trump wants to build Space Marines

I for one welcome the Adeptus Astartes

I personally don't see the point of going back to the moon

Moonbase :^)

you know, this really doesn't make sense. why are the republicans funding space flight and the dems not? tf? man, i should have stopped leaning left longer ago

A rover would do anything we could, better
