Bush's Space Panel Seeks Public Input
brandido writes "Space.com is reporting that Bush's space panel is seeking public input on the effort to return to the Moon and then reach Mars. From the article: "President Bush's new space advisory commission for getting humans to the Moon and Mars has launched a web site seeking public input with the promise of reading all comments." The article provides a link to the website for Bush's Space Panel, but it does not provide a direct link to the site for sending comments. I personally think we should use a Martian Space Elevator to further our exploration of Mars."

Or how about a direct cable elevator from earth to mars - yeh, that would work
You can't expect to wield supreme executive power, just because some watery tart threw a sword at you
We know they have WMDs. (hello! all that Radiation doesn't just fall out of the sky! they are hiding something)
Soon all martians and moonmen will know what it is to live in a democracy (whether they like it or not!)
~note all in jest.
George, why don't you go yourself? You'll get the chance to explore Mars yourself - what greater mark can a man make on the human species than to be the first to set foot on anotehr planet? Right after Neil Armstrong in the history books, kids will find George Dubya.
Now, as for your first travelling companion. Look, we know you two guys haven't gotten on well in the past, but we think Saddam and you've got a lot of common attributes. In the right setting, we think you could achieve wonders together.
We reckon there's gonna be oil on Mars. Now, to make things easier for you, here's a map of where to start looking. Saddam's gonna start on one side of Mars, and you can start on the other. Whoever gets the most oil, wins. Yep, just like here on Earth.
All those other guys? Oh, they're the management consultants and hairdressers. We know you're gonna need a lot of them around.
Bye now. Y'all have a nice trip
What's that? Oh sure, we've packed enough fuel so you can get back, don't worry about that...
Majority Of Americans Thought We Already Had A Moon Base WASHINGTON, DC--A
NASA poll conducted to gauge support for President Bush's space-exploration initiative revealed that a depressing 57 percent of Americans believe that the U.S. already has a research base on the moon. "We put that international space-station thing up there in the '60s," phone-poll respondent Randy Snow said. "It might be on Mars, but I think it's the moon--wherever they have the golf course that President Kennedy played on. Remember, the Cubans tried to take it over?" NASA officials said they hope someday to make Americans' perception a reality.
Unfortunately, I am not Wil Wheaton
At least the plan would be put down (or upheld) in a democratic fashion!
Life is not for the lazy.
In a surprise show of support even Democrats and partizan groups from all over the United States admit that they
- Want Bush To Go To Mars
but they admit anywhere out of the way would do.This is all window dressing from a failed President eager for votes. If there wasn't land they thought they could command, and new technology money for Haliburton involved in this the current administration would'nt be involved.
- The administrationt that scraps the Hubble is not interested in space exploration for science
.Im sure the general public would understand. I mean its not rocket science... oh wait

We just have to get there before the Taliban does. I'll go ahead and call this an open schedule.
This is not my sandwich.
Not another .0 release... Call me when Space Race 2.1 is out.
I always wondered what the call that area between his ears...
I have already sent the Presidential commission a suggestion to use midgets for the crew of the Mars mission. Massive savings on payload weight and demand on consumbles are my justification. Of course, the candidates will require degrees in engineering and other sciences, and they will have to be flight trained on specially adapted aircraft, but I think this could be the big breakthrough for the program that makes it feasible. Brings a whole new meaning to "One small step for mankind".
Noone, even President Bush, is either totally wrong/evil or totally right/good.
You're right, but I do think that Bush is a "Deep Charcoal" on the Black/White Spectrum.
Having very long roots in my community's puddle of conscousness, and having wafted information-mists ever since I was a sapling, I could be of immense help in pointing out all clotters and un-scummers. ;)
Thank you.
just imagine the nightmare to pray in direction of the Mecca.
It would be easier. Do you think that in most places on Earth they can get the direction to less than +-5 degrees error?
On the moon you simply face the earth.

I am a programmer. I am paid to produce syntax not grammar. Deal with it.
It helps if the competitor is a sworn enemy, like the good old days during the cold war. We'll need another few years of Bush before Europe achieves that status...
I've been saying this for a long time. Rocket science isn't rocket science. You heat up gases to high temperatures so they come out of the bottom quickly. Your rocket goes up. Simple.
Prepare to be modded offtopic. I live in the US and don't want to hear that. As an American, I demand to live in a bubble of trivial banality!
