Well we could try to get a Long March rocket from China if needed.

something to think about, only something like 1 cent of every tax dollar goes to NASA. It might even be less, like 1/10th of every 1 cent... I can't remember for sure. At any rate, I would rather my tax dollars go to rockets for space instead of rockets for dirt farmers in Afghanistan.

True, but so far, space isn't shooting back at us.


Bob, the audio on that is terrible. It's too early in the morning for that.

The looks like a 2E. The one that failed last month was a 2C. In any case, I would not want to pay what they would charge.

Or is it har har?

I would support a larger budget. NASA does have some good science missions going on. Click here for article and pics of new moon images (Apollo landing sites).

The Actual Chinese National Space Administration Logo Is Also The Starfleet Logo

Here is an interesting article. Inter-generational spaceflight may not even be possible.

Robots and parts (Sperm, ova) and you can always do spaceflight and make people at the other side though.

As I human I support China's Efforts to get us off the planet.

Well, they may be doing so for nationalistic reasons, but it's the thought that counts.

Still, I'm assuming that the desolation in the video with the crap sound is implicitly stating that the Long March crashed into 'population'. These are our future ChiCom overlords, when they can't even pop a misfire before it lands on an urban center?

Yeap, lot of people killed and look the program continues to go forward...
