Aldrin suggests canceling NASA's troubled and increasingly costly Ares I, instead launching manned capsules on commercial Delta IV, Atlas V, and/or SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets.
Weren't those considered unsafe for manned flight?
All this talk about safety now a days. Safety has been so overblown! Is everyone so afraid of lawsuits these days that absolutely no one will take any sort of risk? I can't go outside once without being reminded how over cautious our world has become.
In my opinion all this pu**y footing around has slowed the human race's ability for advancement. Ya of course we can double the speed of our computers in no time but are we really seeing anything new and amazing? We are growing a generation of kids that see all this regulation and say, Hey I can't get into trouble if I sit on my couch and watch TV all day.
I am still mad about them banning wood burning kits, lawn darts and chemistry kits. How is Darwin supposed to do his job now eh?
