But we have to open the World War II memorial so a bunch of old dudes can continue to crow about them being the greatest generation. Jesus Christ, it's been 60 years, talk about something else for a change. And your baseball caps look stupid too.

Somebody already made a thread about how terribly outraged we should be that a bunch of nerds got sent home for a couple of weeks. Also how this impacts basically nothing whatsoever.


WTF I'm not outraged but you seem to be incapable of seeing past the end of your nose. Wait til the unemployment report comes out, don't you think the consumer confidence will suffer companies will slow production causing more layoffs in anticipation of less spending. There will be no improvements slated to produce more product more efficiently, The marketswill take a sharp dip even on extremely sound companies etc etc. Not to mention dumping 800,000 people onto the unemployment rolls. Would it ever occur to you that that would put a huge strain on the system. The feds also subsidize state and local governments, What happens then huh ? I personally think that most federal workers are overpaid but it is what it is and it will have ramifications on more than one level down the road. Everyone that cries for smaller government should shut
the fuck up unless they have a sound solution. And don't even get me started on that fucking sonoabitch bastard dickhead douche bag fuck head asslicking cunt Obama. If I told ya how I really felt You would have to wash your eyes out with soap.

Yeah I don't think it's too controversial at all to say that the space race and the nuclear arms race between the US and USSR were very closely tied. The Germans developed the V-2 rocket near the end of WWII, and the US managed to get to its development team before the Russians did. After WWII both countries devoted huge amounts of resources to developing nuclear weapons and rockets to deliver them efficiently, and the space race was a way of showing off and trying to demoralize the enemy. Obviously there were other benefits too, including additional military ones (the ability to spy from satellites for example.)

so if the space agency is simply there to advance the military, what is the reason for the curiosity rover on mars? :taco:

So that our military can get to Mars first, duh.

Plus we've got to be ready for aliens showing up, we can't expect to develop Halo suits after the first attack. BSG was pretty clear about that.

I never claimed that NASA is only there to advance the military, obviously it has developed into something much broader than that. Its origins were very closely tied to military technology and goals (and their associated funding) though.

right. that's a logistically sound idea. shipping things 350 million miles through space. you may as well send an aircraft carrier from america to africa to ship them a can of campbells soup :derp:

What if we like built giant ships in space though and they could travel faster then the speed of light?

We'd have access to sooo much shit, like planets made of diamond or filled with fuel.

Most of those can be found in our solar system.

I quoted you but didn't disagree with anything you said just the quote you nested.

I am shitty at internet forum communication. :shrug:

I don't deny it was probably primarily born out of military ambitions and not any altruistic sense of exploration or what have you

which planets in our solar system are made of diamond :awewtf:

besides there is nothing special about diamonds, just that women want them for no fucking apparent reason other than jeweler commercials make them feel like if men don't get them one they don't love them or some crock of shit.

but i like your idea overall. light speed - giant ass ship. hellz yeh. that's why i think nasa should be back in the spotlight. forget dshs. hell if you want foodstamps, sweep nasas floors, learn about rockets and shit.
