Climate science is in its infancy. But climate politics are highly evolved. Ever wonder were all the commies went after 1990? Today's green is yesterday's red. It is hard to see programs like this going anywhere when a GOP congress comes to power in November.
This is only the beginning. There is widespread opposition to Obama's vacuous plan. America doesn't want to it's space legacy of the past 50 years in the hands of neophyte startups like SpaceX.
The headline ridicules this task force but has nothing to say about the Bolsheviks in the Augustine commission. Constellation was so "chronically mismanaged" that Ares 1X flew successfully as planed! How's that SpaceX Falcon 9 coming?
Like Obama's policy on Gitmo, Muslim Terror, the economy, Healthcare, etc., this new NASA policy is destined to go down in flames. It is 2 years 10 months and counting until Obama's administration blows up on the pad.
I made the mistake of giving my niece her money. The government seeing that she had a little bit of money(just $10,000) stripped her of medical and food benefits.
The modern liberal welfare state at its worse. The State pays the poor a pittance, and punishes them for improving there life. If you were smart you would have given her cash. By the way, people with incomes below $50K pay 2% of federal taxes in the US. Tea Partiers pay the rest. One would think you Bolsheviks would figure that out by now.
In the US there are two kinds of people. Those who take responsibility for their and their dependent's health, and those who have their hand out. Unfortunately, the number of deadbeats has increased over the years. It is easy to see what kind you are.
The nanny state indeed. The Obama administration is about to come to a spectacular end this fall. The country will effectively be run by a GOP congress. The President will be a lame duck, reviled by his own party. And none too soon. The decision making of this Whitehouse is bazaar beyond description.
The only equivalent EELV launcher to the Ares is a Delta IV heavy, and it would need an expensive and dangerous fuel cross feed system between the outboard and core CBC's. The choice then is between a vehicle with 4 H2/O2 stages or a solid fuel booster and single H2/O2 upper stage. The X-38 will never be a manned vehicle unless you fancy midget astronauts.
Carry water for the Bolshevik in the Whitehouse if you want to, but don't pretend your are making sense.
Not to mention that Ares has already flown successfully, and SpaceX's Falcon 9 won't be spreading its exploded debris over the Atlantic for several months. Relying on a new industry for manned space launch is madness! SpaceX may be ok supplying the ISS, but the idea of them safely launching humans in under 10 years is preposterous.
Guess you missed this, retard. Charles Boldin only has a job, because he is sufficiently diverse, and he lets Obama put his hand up his ass to make his mouth work.
You would think before trying to seize $10's of trillions of the world economy that these climate scientists would want backcast their models for as far back as we have meaningful data. You would think. Maybe the chance to become "Lords of the Earth" is a little too seductive a notion for these eggheads. Climate science is a fraud. The US should withhold funds from the IPCC immediately.
I never cease to be amazed of some of the silly things that are published on Slashot.
A system like this will cut launch costs from $5,000 per pound to only $250 per pound. It won't launch people into space because of the excessive acceleration, but those guys at the ISS can use it to order pizza and real ice cream.
The ISS obital inclination is 56 degrees. Any 'ice cream delivery' made from a 0 degree inclination transfer orbit would have a relative velocity of about 7500 mph. The ice cream would effectively become an ASAT weapon.
Of course they do! Russia and Europe love having their meager space programs subsidized by US tax payers, and want it to continue. ISS access gives them prestige they do not merit. Throw the foreigners off of the Space Station Freedom!
It is not in the US interest to subsidize an enemy, which is what we are doing by educating the Chinese, while we lose another generation of males here at home. Don't be deceived by the muzzy thinking liberals who say otherwise. Let the US and China each educate their own.
Fly the shuttle once per year until Ares is ready. Indeed they should launch it unmanned at least once for R&D purposes. As for the patch design contest. Pathetic.
Another nutty, green energy non-solution by the global warming hysterics. Well, at least we know what they do in the off season when winter isn't cooperating with their mad predictions.
Launch day on NASA TV is outstanding, especially the replays of the engineering views. But the day to day ISS "we are the world" happy talk and video of the pointless activities on the ISS, and the politically correct, diverse, children's educational programming are an utter waste.
Should read, "another muslim terror clown ignites himself in attempt to bomb airplane." Why isn't the TSA strip searching muslim males coming into the US?
The previous poster is correct. Proof that SpaceX is not ready for prime time is seen in the dismal success rate of the Falcon 1. The Falcon 9 is an order of magnitude more complex. I think America's space future would be more wisely bet on the men that sent us to the moon and built the space station than some web hack hobbyist with too much money to spend.
Wow! You are really torqued up. Why such a SpaceX fanboy? Of course you cannot refute anything I say. Yet you waste everyone's time and reply anyway. Who then is the loser?
Thanks for saving me from saying it. This Soyuz envy is absurd. The Russians were marooned aboard Mir when we started flying shuttles to it. Without the shuttle we couldn't have an ISS, the the foreigners love so much. Soyuz is a step 50 years back. Let NASA build the Ares 1 and 5!

Another spectacularly bad policy decision by Obama. But like his policy to coddle war criminals, this one won't stand.

No, we'd be too busy going to the mosque 5x a day. Islamists hate the space program.

Great idea! What is muslim terror in the skies compared to the plight of the polar bears?

I for one will be happy to see fewer of these trans nationals within our sacred borders.
