+Dave 2,322 Posted April 13, 2010 Still one of my favorites reads of all time. I mean what everyone did to bring that capsule home was amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted April 13, 2010 For a budget of about $20bn/yr, we could have gone back there in 10 years. Instead, we needed to give $80bn to AIG and billions more to stupid corporations for literally NO return. NASA will get $18bn/yr and lose the ability to send humans into space, instead holding a ticket to get on the Hogwarts Express from Pad 9 3/4 to the ISS whenever one of these commercial companies actually gets a rocket up, let alone a capsule to carry people. It's disgusting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xclusiv8 35 Posted April 13, 2010 Its kinda bad that space exploration has been on a stand still since then. I guess without any effective means of transportation we will be stuck in our little corner of the solar system and galaxy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
