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

wait, i know why

military

maybe we should move more space stuff under the military to get it funded

The right supports space domination?

By the US hegemony?

the moon was a failed project 😦 they should've thought long term

Next to the american flag, the flag of Russia or China with a penis on it,

Force them to get a space program and remove the dick-flag 😄

just play it off as "useful military RnD"

Cos I'm on board

and play a large game of capture the flag on the moon

I'd prefer US on top than Russia or China

😏

don't we all

Mostly cos it's not much of a choice

Russia will dominate the world, China will also do the sane

Russia won't be on top anyway

America will atleast not do that

and america will just rule the world
