NASA Announces Design for New Deep Space Exploration System

[jaretac]

Yep, NASA's just a big waste of money. Nothing useful to life on Earth has ever came from NASA. No important discoveries or inventions, nothing like that. Oh, and Earth will exist forever and our species will never have to leave to survive... its not like the sun will ever change or eventually go nova.

I assume no sarcasm pirate is needed.

The taxpayers that are pumping a lot of money into a nerd's hobby.

Every dollar invested in NASA has been returned fifty-fold in technological innovation.

You have a pretty dim view of humanity. We have minds with the capacity to explore and imagine. We should use them.

Maybe you meant this to be funny, but I find attitudes like this will be the downfall of our country. Unfortunately it seems to be the norm anymore and I'm losing faith that we will be okay. Any money spent on research is "wasted." Anyone with an education beyond the most basic level is chastised as an "elitist."

Ignorance of Constitutional rights, an extreme lack of basic mathematical and science skills, and a "me first" attitude of the general public are quickly destroying us.

We are Idiocracy.

You are exactly right. I think the republicans will end up nominating Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho for the 2012 election.

If so, I'm gonna head to Starbucks.

You need to just settle down and immerse yourself in a nice episode of the Kardashians or Jersey Shore.

Totally agree, screw those nerds and their life changing discoveries.

Careful, hugging bos is a sure fire way to stink of day old lamb and feta cheese all day.

 

[Naughtius]

I'm sure the SUV's of the future will be blamed for that galactic warming as well!

FIFY

Holy crap that looks a lot like my 1st college roommate.

"The SLS will have an initial lift capacity of 70 metric tons. That's more than 154,000 pounds, or 77 tons, roughly the weight of 40 sport utility vehicles. The lift capacity will be evolvable to 130 metric tons -- more than 286,000 pounds, or 143 tons -- enough to lift 75 SUVs."

I'm confused as to what we are going to do with all of these SUV's in space.




They must be Saturns.

Simple. Each of those SUVs can park in such a way to take up 4 parking spaces, thereby saving parking spots for an additional 300 SUVs

I am thoroughly disappointed in you.

Your right. Nothing good ever came of advancing science. What kind of abacus are you using these days?

 

[CloneIce]

Actually our sun will never go supernova - it's not big enough. At the end of it's life cycle it'll go red giant and then die as a whimpering white dwarf.

That being said, I don't disagree with your post.

Thanks jdogg, I couldn't decide whether to include that or not because I couldn't remember if it was the right type, but I left it in.... red giant, supernova, either way, bad news for us if were still here!
