Space. Earth. People.

I dont even know where to start. 6 billion people on planet Earth. But reaching space is more important by funding billions of $ into space programs, instead of funding that money to create a stronger and better earth. Ill tell you what your doing wrong Human Civilization, It is everything. "lets go to space" "lets create debt" "lets create business"
how about we create nothing. Just sit the fuck down watch the earth collide into outer space, and do nothing.
Sounds a lot more intelligent to me.
What happens when you get onto another planet? "Space agency own this planet now" "Europe gets this planet" "Lets make more debt"
Fucking free world. Let me show you my bare ass.

Cool stuff. What are the finding on mars that they WONT find on earth? What have the actually made an created, from outer space materials? Has this benefit the Human Civilization on Earth?

The thing is, there are people out there that can solo fund a space exploration campaign, and start civilization on the moon, but territories and nations with trust issues won't allow such insolence. So we are forced to only think about such things instead of acting on it. No one on a Jupiter moon wants to get nuked by Russia or China, for camping near another moon, holding their neutron star factory.

Yeah, I reckon if a government (with the obvious candidates being the U.S. and China) ever established a permanent base on the moon, it would militarize very quickly. I don't believe either power would keep nukes out of the equation, either stockpiled on the moon or aimed there at an adversary. Being on the moon would be a strategic bonanza for any nation. So it's hard to imagine the enterprise being a peaceful mission for all mankind. So much for all that.

The hope is to find signs of microbial life.
I don't think the goal is to collect materials from space but to push mankind's technology forward by continuing to develop space technologies because in space it's a vacuum with no air or food and it's essentially a death trap.
The technology we develop to take us into space is also the technology we use back here on Earth. What NASA and space agencies alike are doing is creating the forefront of modern technologies.
These are the kind of things NASA has invented that we use every day.
- Artificial limbs
- Baby formula
- Cell-phone cameras
- Computer mouse
- Cordless tools
- Ear thermometer
- Firefighter gear
- Freeze-dried food
- Golf clubs
- Long-distance communication
- Invisible braces
- MRI and CAT scans
- Memory foam
- Safer highways
- Solar panels
- Shoe insoles
- Ski boots
- Adjustable smoke detector
- Water filters
- UV-blocking sunglasses

I really don't need to, since golf clubs and long distance communication were obviously invented long before NASA was around, haha.

They invented the materials for top end golf clubs.
Quote:
NASA needed stronger, more durable materials for its space missions. A landmark discovery was made during a research project with vitrified metals in 1992. Liquidmetal is a new class of vitrified metals and is known as metallic glass. Also called Vitreloy®, Liquidmetal is an alloy blend more than twice as strong as titanium, but softer and more elastic.
The product has been strengthened since its discovery and now goes by the name trademarked LiquidMetal. Licensed to a company in Lake Forest, Calif., Liquidmetal® golf clubs were the first commercial application of NASA's technology. The product has dozens of other potential commercial uses, including wrist watches, cellular phones and industrial machinery. https://www.nasa.gov/missions/science/f_liquidmetal.html
Sattelite communication wasn't around before NASA my friend.
Quote:
Belonging to AT&T, the original Telstar was part of a multi-national agreement among AT&T (USA), Bell Telephone Laboratories (USA), NASA (USA), GPO (United Kingdom) and the National PTT (France) to develop experimental satellite communications over the Atlantic Ocean. Bell Labs held a contract with NASA, paying the agency for each launch, independent of success. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telstar

Golf was invented in Scotland 500 years ago. NASA may have helped popularize some material they used in some modern golf clubs or something like that, sure, but that's hardly inventing golf clubs.
People were communicating long distance by telephone 150 years ago, long before NASA, my friend.

Woop de doo your expectations weren't perfectly met but the point stands that NASA is full of smart people who invented a fuckload of shit we use every day.
Coolios, speaking on a wired phone isn't using the internet.

What the hell? What year were you born? You didn't say the internet, you said "long distance communication", and NASA didn't invent the internet anyway, haha.
Anyway, my point was just that you don't need to make shit up to boost up the people involved at NASA. If anything that undermines what they've actually done.
ps- I'm just now realizing that you probably went and copy/pasted that list you posted without thinking about it then just got mad and defensive when you realized it was trash.

back in the old days people only borrowed when they absolutely had to, and they hated doing it. now a days everything is bought on promise to pay later. society is so materialistic, big business and industry are ruining the planet so we can have a bunch of shit we dont need. there is no where on earth to put plastic. maybe we can start polluting the moon next or something.;

The Telstar satellite I linked earlier was the first medium earth orbit satellite designed to help facilitate high-speed telephone signals. Actually I think internet satellites weren't till the 70's but even then it's still better than landline.
Without NASA's intervention we would not be able to take for granted some of the technologies we have today.
I obviously copy pasted the list but I'm more surprised you're acting like NASA doesn't deserve any credit for their inventions.

I got my fingers crossed for the mushrooms that consume plastic, it's a start.
