    Oh... ya... We're down to one type of manned craft that can even make it to the IIS, and a few pipe dreams for further exploration. Without commercial interest, or a international government dick size contest, we're dwindling down to nothing.

    Interesting links, been spending lots of time visiting. Perhaps space travel will be considered passe like cowboys exploring the wild west during 1800s. Lots of stories, movies, and tall tales.

    Hey! The space race is on, we're aimed at the stars.

        Oh... ya... We're down to one type of manned craft that can even make it to the IIS, and a few pipe dreams for further exploration.

        Without commercial interest, or a international government dick size contest, we're dwindling down to nothing.

        Soviet Buran

        US Space Shuttle Orbiter "Enterprise"

        In future years, they'll become a novelty, and finally be left behind some antiquities museum. Or they'll be scrapped out when the floor space in the museum is more valuable for a gift shop.

        8 sad aircraft graveyards

        And, the eventual fate will be just like USS Enterprise CV-6

        Soon enough, the only trace that a human ever left the Earth will be what we left on the moon. That will eventually be destroyed by incoming space debris.

  6. Re:Could not connect to the database server by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Informative · on Delta Rocket Crashes In Mongolia

    I've been to Mongolia. In the steppes and desert areas the ground is sometimes a *very* hard surface. Also it is possible the objects bounced or rolled a few metres before coming to a stop. There's not quite enough resolution in the pictures to tell for certain, but the lower left corner of the upper photo (below where the guy is bending over to look at the debris) looks a bit like there is a shallow pit and some whitish, crushed rock. It's also February -- the ground is probably frozen. In this picture you can see patches of snow.
