This is crazy making. What we need is a party with the political will to have a GOAL and a plan we can understand giving all the things Barry mentions (including re-industialization) as part of the road to that goal.

Most of our problems are self inflicted. Just when we start devoloping things that would work and they start comming together those idiots in washington decide to pull the funding. Because of our stupid policies we cant allow civilians to go up in our shuttles which the Russians been doing for some time now they cut through that red tape. If we sent 5-10 civilians up at 10,000,000 usd a pop imagine what that could help pay for? So far the Russians are kicking our butts in the commercial space tourisim industry. Whe have private companies working hard with a fraction of resourses to get us up in space goverment needds to start working with them. Biglow corp launched 2 inflatable stations (though not manned yet) in space and so far seams to be working like they were desinged. We need serious reforms and cut alot of redtape and soon or we will loose our edge in space. Most projects were canceled due to cost and technology which ok back then they were not avaialbe but technology has progressed since then and we should take another look at those nixed projects. We should not even be debating on establishing a moon base. That should have been established already same goes for the Mars. We should be shooting for Jupiter or Saturn by now if we kept moving forward instead of acting like wusses when one little thing goes wrong everyone gets scared. Those people thought sucks they died they knew the risks and to listen to nay sayers and stop things when one thing goes wrong has hurt us more than anything those people need to be shot. Lets get moving lets get to the Moon, Mars and beyond.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think Hank is on the money with that comment. Most of our problems are self inflicted.

Because of our stupid policies we cant allow civilians to go up in our shuttles which the Russians been doing for some time now they cut through that red tape. If we sent 5–10 civilians up at 10,000,000 usd a pop imagine what that could help pay for? So far the Russians are kicking our butts in the commercial space tourisim industry. Whe have private companies working hard with a fraction of resourses to get us up in space goverment needds to start working with them. Biglow corp launched 2 inflatable stations (though not manned yet) in space and so far seams to be working like they were desinged. We need serious reforms and cut alot of redtape and soon or we will loose our edge in space. Most projects were canceled due to cost and technology which ok back then they were not avaialbe but technology has progressed since then and we should take another look at those nixed projects. We should not even be debating on establishing a moon base. That should have been established already same goes for the Mars. We should be shooting for Jupiter or Saturn by now if we kept moving forward instead of acting like wusses when one little thing goes wrong everyone gets scared. Those people thought sucks they died they knew the risks and to listen to nay sayers and stop things when one thing goes wrong has hurt us more than anything those people need to be shot. Lets get moving lets get to the Moon, Mars and beyond.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: Garry Owen</title><link>http://www.dodbuzz.com/2009/10/19/us-losing-space-race/#comment-16157</link> <dc:creator>Garry Owen</dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:33:58 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.dodbuzz.com/?p=10674#comment-16157</guid> <description>If the U.S, continued our dominance in the space program BHO would to go on another world tour and apoligize for the U.S. to the world!
