To the Moon... Again
So the plan is now to send four people to the moon in 2018. Sure, that's twice as many people as in the old missions, but that's so long from now that I'll be nearly forty (and will probably have been elected President in 2016 and who knows what funding I'll cut). Everyone who previously went to the moon will probably be dead. Everyone who watched the first moon landing will be really old and confused and think they're seeing a news rerun when the new landing happens. Why is this going to take so long? Are we even going to reach Mars in my lifetime? When JFK first proposed going to the moon in a drunken boast, we were there like three weeks later. That's 'cause we had the Soviets to compete against. I think it's time that America just admit it's not as productive without the Soviets, and the Russians admit their half-assed democracy ain't going anywhere. Then the Soviets rebuild and we have an evil super-power rival to prove we're better than. Sorry, but a bunch of retardo Islamist just ain't going to inspire us to make a mission to any celestial body. So how does NASA get the funding to rebuild the Soviet Union? 18 Responses To "To the Moon... Again"
Not second. #1 - Posted by: LC Trucido on September 20, 2005 09:13 AMNot First. Yay, soviets again, cant wait, lol. #2 - Posted by: -[Medic]- on September 20, 2005 09:42 AMHow do we get the funding? Easy. Sell off any state that has a compass modifier in its name. Do we really need TWO Dakotas? How about a North AND South Carolina? Does anyone really care about WEST Virginia? I'm telling you...someone out there is sure to buy them. #4 - Posted by: Matt on September 20, 2005 10:05 AMPomoze Bog. Space is a dead end. We have too much to work with here to screw around outside the atmosphere (outside of placing and repairing satellites). If we're going to spend a basketload of cash, we ought to spend it exploring the seafloors and other untapped places here on our own planetary surface. FrankJ, you were right the first time around. Nuke the damned moon...don't visit it. Tsar Lazar #5 - Posted by: Tsar Lazar on September 20, 2005 10:32 AMI'll buy them. I need land to base my conquest for world domination. #6 - Posted by: Elvenbane on September 20, 2005 10:33 AMWell, the Chinese want to go to the moon. They'll probably copy a Russian spacecraft which is actually a stolen American design. Oh wait. They did. #7 - Posted by: Justin on September 20, 2005 11:54 AMHave a bake sale? #8 - Posted by: Steve on September 20, 2005 11:55 AMBake sale! Cupcakes, only $2,000,000.00! #9 - Posted by: BigEZ on September 20, 2005 03:54 PMI bet a private company lands on the moon in the next 5 years. Mars within 20 years.
I would like to see a giant space ship go to the moon with just enough fuel to get there. On my list I would send.... ------------------------ Add any names you wish -just remember that I have first rights to the reality show scripts etc. #11 - Posted by: DL on September 20, 2005 05:50 PMMatt what a great idea -from now on all compass states only get one senator -we could save billions! #12 - Posted by: DL on September 20, 2005 05:52 PMWell, I don't know how they're going to fund anything (other than to get Alan Greenspan and the Fed to just print whatever money they think they need), but I do think I know why "this going to take so long". Simple. It takes a long time to get a movie soundstage to look like the real moon. Plus you have to hire actors and directors and gaffers and best-boys. [Whatever they are. Please don't tell me. I'd rather not know.] #13 - Posted by: azlibertarian on September 20, 2005 06:38 PMWell said. The point you are making here does make sense. But I don't know why this is going to take too long? Stephen #14 - Posted by: Stephen on September 21, 2005 03:57 AMFrank, when you're President you should cut the funding for congressional paychecks. You'll have to do it by executive order so it doesn't get vetoed. If those idiots don't get paid, they'll just go home. #15 - Posted by: McWert Deglieb on September 21, 2005 05:32 AMI watched the original landing on TV when I was 14. But the question is: Firefox has mind control??? Oh...sorry...you ment the movie. I would like to see Michael Moore on the moon, but there isn't enough funding in the world to build a rocket that large. Plus I'm sure a mass transfer of that amount to the moon would alter the gravity of both the Earth and the moon and really mess things up. And what would he eat up there? Any way, it's clear that we can't get to the moon sooner than 2018 because Bush lies and hates blacks. That's what MSNBC said. (Or was it CNN? I get my conservative bashing news stations so confused sometimes....) #17 - Posted by: Daniel L. Taylor on September 21, 2005 01:13 PMPerhaps Halliburton could finance it. They would easily make it back on the no-bid contract for the new Iron Curtain. Unless anyone knows where the old one went. #18 - Posted by: Ed on September 22, 2005 11:42 PMPost a comment
