Still the same cutting edge nail biting excitement. Congrats to SpaceX on today’s successful test of the escape systems.

Like all government agencies, devolve into inept political good for nothing money burners.Scientists and engineers doing science and testing it!!!! What a concept...
Whatever happened to NASA?
Oh, they are busy sending probes to Mars to bring back samples, while SpaceX is trying to build a rocket.Whatever happened to NASA?
Except NASA has zero Mars missions and a 50% success rate on past missions.Oh, they are busy sending probes to Mars to bring back samples, while SpaceX is trying to build a rocket.Whatever happened to NASA?
Which is the norm for Mars missions, and one thing that makes a manned mission so risky. Again, by the time SpaceX makes its rocket that can, hopefully, do what NASA rockets from the 60s did, NASA will be analyzing samples it brought back from Mars.Except NASA has zero Mars missions and a 50% success rate on past missions.

NASA has lost its way. Its to expensive with to much political influence, corruption, cronyism, political correctness and quotas. So much so that it willbe at least a decade before the SLS rocket and Orion space capsule are launched which was supposed to be a few years. The SLS is based on the Shuttle liquid and solid rocket boosters. They lied. As of now the rumor is that it will cost between 1.5 and 2.5 billion just to bring the SLS to the launch pad. It was supposed to cost a few hudred million. we were told it was to be much cheaper because it was based on current technology. They lied. So many rues and regulations that even Obama gave the go ahead for Elon Musk and Boeing to develop man rated low earth capsules without all of the NASA restrictions. The older generation was smarter. If we stop going to Mars in unmanned craft or other places we will lose that ability quickly. And the costs to relearn things will be astronomical. Going to Mars in manned missions for 30 billion dollars? Who started that one? To placate the broads its going to cost that to just orbit the moon again.Which is the norm for Mars missions, and one thing that makes a manned mission so risky.

The 2014 cost estimate for SLS was $4 billion.NASA has lost its way. Its to expensive with to much political influence, corruption, cronyism, political correctness and quotas.

SpaceX is operational and NASA can neither get a man into space nor does it have anything more than a repeat of old technology to Mars.

SoaceX has also dealt with constant setback's and cost overruns. That's life.
NASA is doing amazing things. Like I said, by the time SpaceX gets operational with it's huge overruns and setback's, NASA will be analyzing samples it brought back from Mars
Awesome.
By the same general standard, so is NASA. Would you like to be more specific? Operational... How?SpaceX is operational
Unlike NASA, who must rely upon Russia, SpaceX can get humans into space. In addition, NASA has SpaceX do its work of resupplying the space station.By the same general standard, so is NASA. Would you like to be more specific? Operational... How?SpaceX is operational
MissionsScientists and engineers doing science and testing it!!!! What a concept...
Whatever happened to NASA?
So, you meant operational in just that specific capacity. Gotcha.Unlike NASA, who must rely upon Russia, SpaceX can get humans into space
Uh, no. NASA could not get a man in space now if it had to.So, you meant operational in just that specific capacity. Gotcha.Unlike NASA, who must rely upon Russia, SpaceX can get humans into space
NASA, of course, given the resources, could do that as well. As we know from 50 years of watching them do it.
When is SpaceX returning samples from Mars? You know, knowledge we don't already have.
It got out-sourced. Need a ride up ? Call Vlad. We have FreeDumb to deliver and no time for your dreamsScientists and engineers doing science and testing it!!!! What a concept...
Whatever happened to NASA?
No. The price difference comes from the companies the contract. SpaceX is cheaper than Boeing. That's not NASA's fault.The big difference is SpaceX isn't controlled by a bloated government bureaucracy like NASA.
