I know what! Let s build a moon base! That d be different from anything Obama wants. And when we get
The space program rental car places in jackson tn strengthens the entrepreneurial spirit and commercial competitiveness. It launches new industries and new technologies. President Obama campaigned quite a bit around Florida on the Space Coast in 2008 and made lots of promises. This is one of those other broken promises. We have presided over a dismantling of the space program rental car places in jackson tn over the last four years. He has put the space program on a path where we are conceding our global position as the unequivocal leader in space. Today, if we want to send an astronaut to the space station, we have to pay the Russians to take them there. [boos] China may someday be looking down on us from the Moon. That s unacceptable. Mitt Romney and I believe that America must lead in space. [applause] Mitt Romney and I believe rental car places in jackson tn we need a mission for NASA, a mission for space program, and we also believe that this is an integral part of our national security.
Since it came up both in Ryan s speech and the white paper, it s worth remembering that the reliance on the Russians for access to the ISS is something that predates the Obama Administration: rental car places in jackson tn under the Bush Administration s Vision for Space Exploration and NASA s implementation of it, there was always a planned gap of several years between the retirement of the shuttle (in 2010) and the introduction of a replacement transportation system (by 2014 in the original VSE documents, a date that was slipping to the right as NASA worked on Orion and Ares 1.)
I don t see any evidence that Ryan understands why we are buying rides from the Russians, or that he is willing to taise taxes even a dollar to pay for a new moon race. Nor does he understand that Obama did have a coherent plan but has been stimied by Congress.
This is coupled with a statement on Mittens facebook page with an endorsement by Pete Pork Olson TX-22. Pressed on his facebook page Olson nor one of his flunkies (whoever runs is facebook page) could not identify a reason other then Willadr will provide leadership
Having received a poor reception (booed) at the AARP, an organization that is composed of one of the few voting blocks that R2 can count on all Ryan is doing is spouting talking points with no clear idea as to why they are like they are or the decisions behind them (all decisions made by Republican administration officials).
Obama wins this 52-48 320 in the EC. Mittens campaign is imploding. As of Sunday he leads in no major polls, is only tied in the tracking polls and behidn is almost every national poll the state numbers are worse.
I know what! Let s build a moon base! That d be different from anything Obama wants. And when we get enough rental car places in jackson tn people up there, we can make them a state! Somebody said something like this during the Republican primaries, I recall, so you know it s a good, voter-tested idea.
We should build a Moon base. In preparations for a future Mars base. To learn how to live in and operate such a base on another celestial body. And look, we ve been granted one right in Earth orbit 4 days away.
A Moon base at any cost? No, of course not. Is there only one way to get back to the Moon? No, not that either. There s got to be a more affordable rental car places in jackson tn way to get humans into a lunar base that was previously planned. Then push forward on to Mars. Hopefully a lunar base and Mars base using international cooperation.
A Moon base to become a state? No. That s not for the gov t to fund. Perhaps a private firm could do that but obviously not without significant gov t infrastructure. Besides, the public isn t ready for Moon colonies applying to become a state. A future Moon colony of thousands would probably want some type of independence. In any case, the public is barely ready to visit space themselves. We ll have to wait until it grows on them. But as for me, I d like to see those lights shining from Armstrong base at the Moon s south pole. How long will we have to wait?
Politics aside, both Congress and NASA decided to bank everything on an experimental risk ( monopoly rental car places in jackson tn ) instead of building a reliable rental car places in jackson tn launch vehicle for crew cargo with proven hardware to reach the ISS and LEO.
Mitt Romney and [Lyin'Ryan] believe that America must lead in space. [applause] Mitt Romney and I believe we need a mission for NASA, a mission for space program, and we also believe that this is an integral part of our national security.
And we got a good look at Mr. Romney s attitude on it both in the primaries with his dismissive responses to Newt and with his nebulous specches along the Space Coast. To borrow a familiar refrain from Oler- they re Goofy.
Yep. Agreed. Maybe even by a wider margin- my bet is 8 percentage points, Possibly an EC landslide- barring Obama is outted as a living, breathing Vulcan- the Trek kind, not the Bushy kind. Certainly his space policy, regardless of your position on commerical vs. government ops, is a more viable suite of options than what romney has to offer- which 44 days out is zip.
Documents obtained by the Orlando Sentinel rental car places in jackson tn show that NASA wants to build a small outpost — likely with parts left over from the $100 billion International Space Station — at what s known as the Earth-Moon Lagrange Point 2, a spot about 38,000 miles from the moon and 277,000 miles from Earth.
To get there, NASA would use the massive rocket and space capsule that it is developing as a successor to the retired space shuttle. A first flight of that rocket is planned for 2017, and construction of the outpost would begin two years later, according to NASA planning rental car places in jackson tn documents.
Although an EML2 station strikes me as the best bet for HSF at present, I think we should be a bit cautious about the Orlando Sentinel report and wait to see if there s any follow-up. For one thing, the two years later part may indicate the NASA document(s) it s based on are a bit dated. If they re talking about leaving EM1 at EML2, the possibility of a 2019 date seems to have fallen victim to the budget:
Mr. Hill noted that EFT-1 is baselined; EM-1 and EM-2 are not yet baselined, primarily because of the budget. The 2017 flight is driven by the core stage; the 2021 flight is driven by the full-up rental car places in jackson tn Orion. The Program was not able to pull the schedule back because rental car places in jackson tn of the flat-line budget.
Bush announced the decommission of shuttle rental car places in jackson tn in late 2004. NASA responded with a plan to launch cargo and then crew on an EELV system. They Bush appointed Mike Griffin at the beginning of 2005 who immediately cancelled the EELV option in favor of the ill-fated Ares program that NASA itself had internally rejected in 2003.
The human spaceflight program is effectively over as it should be. It was kept on life support by the Florida, Alabama and Texas delegations with the backing of pork-loving contractors. NASA s leadership under Griffin refused to acknowledge the simple reality that human spaceflight is too costly (in dollars and lives) to be of much interest to a nation straddled with a $16T debt, high unemployment, and severe rental car places in jackson tn competition from abroad.
Paul Ryan s feeble attempts to stir a crowd add up to just another stupid gaff by a team of blue blood bozos. Any talk of moon bases and Mars expeditions is so patently rental car places in jackson tn ridiculous as to brand the utterer a loon.
This is the age of robots plain and simple. LEO space is the domain of commercial systems, as it should be. When humans venture beyond LEO again it will be decades in the future using new and affordable technologies. Space whiners should stop lamenting the loss of things like Shuttle rental car places in jackson tn and use their energy back at the drawing boards. And when a politician like Ryan attempts to score points through lies he should be told to stuff it .
Good for congressman Ryan. He is plugging into a powerful issue in Florida, the NASA malaise. Ryan is wise to point out that collaboration with the Russians is as absurd. Obama has done nothing to curb it. No wonder the world s depots favor the re-election Obama. Go Mitt!
Instead of using leftovers for a hodgepodge, how about building a habitat station to study the effects of artificial gravity and radiation shielding. You would need to scrap the SLS for an affordable delivery system.
Oh, that s right, your idea of eliminating that problem is, instead of having cheaper, domestic access to LEO, to splash rental car places in jackson tn ISS, leaving us with nowhere to go, AND no way to get there for over a decade which is the minimum time necessary to get anyone rental car places in jackson tn on (not simply orbiting) the Moon via SLS (on the highly unlikely assumption that ISS operations money will simply be re-allocated to lander development or that SLS will ever be finished), and with little more on-surface capability than Apollo, if it happened.
An L1/L2 gateway rental car places in jackson tn station is a good idea, but it s too soon for it. It would consume a lot of money, but would not provide a lot of extra demand for launch services. Consequently it would not accelerate the development of radically cheaper space launch. And since that is the #1 capability we lack for meaningful manned rental car places in jackson tn spaceflight, all our efforts should be directed rental car places in jackson tn towards it. That means spending as much money as possible on commercially procured launches, and as little as possible on expensive space hardware like a gateway station. Propellant in support of exploration is the most plausible payload, since it s cheap and we d need lots of it. Even an unmanned program could make use of it, and that may be our best bet given the budget rental car places in jackson tn situation.
Yeah there are some poll models rental car places in jackson tn out there by names (Charlie Cook even Luntz) that have some trends that could do just that. I am reluctant to start even thinking that until I see the first debate. Thats the last round in the magazine rental car places in jackson tn for Willard if he has a good one that could as Noonan notes get him on a spiral upward but for now all he is doing is flat spinning in.
We are moving into a moment in American history that is not unique but it is to use the title of the book a game changer American history is full of times when there was another fork in the road then the one taken and it usually comes down to a moment or
