Bush has reduced NASA's budget significantly and now China Japan and India are heading for the moon

How times have changed

[daninthemoon]

1. But..but..bush said we were on our way back to the moon and even

Mars. You don't mean he made an empty promise, do you? That's so unlike him.:sarcasm:

[lovuian]

2. Nick Lampson brought this up at the Stepped up meeting

where at JFK's time NASA was 6% of the budget and now under Bush is at .6%

and Now China has a hotline

Rumsfeld got a bit testy at how well China knocked down that satellite
kinda knocks out the Rods of God theory

5. We have STAR WARS precisely because we couldn't get to the moon ---

They won't either ---

Not alive, at any rate ---

[liberation]

6. We got to the moon alright....

We just couldn't pay to keep on going to Mars. After all, we had much more productive things to spend our money like the VietNam war.

At some point, humans should leave their petty differences and realize what a beautiful thing this sea of life is, and we should have a common goal as a civilization and species to do something great. Wasting time with stupid shit is really a brake on our potential.

Plus eventually we are going to face the fact that there is too many of us on this earth, and we need to start looking plus ultra...

9. If we got to the moon it was with less computer power than you are using now -- !!!

We didn't even really have viable video recorders at the time --- !!!

Not believable --

Unmanned missions are the only way --- that's just been reconfirmed in recent article.

PNAC is demanding Star Wars which will militarize the skies ---

Humans are not equipped to survive in space --- at all -- so forget the idea of planetary jumping
around.

The fact is we've near destroyed this planet --- and our own species --
Global Warming, overpopulation --- and immense pollution --
Looks like we've even contamined outer space with nuke stuff ---

7. I thought Bush wanted to probe Uranus

8. JFK saw the moon race as a way of diverting resources from the Cold War

Some commentators have said he intended to ask the Soviets to join in an international space effort.

I wish that was possible today!

[defendandprotect]

10. Yes . . . re Soviets and joint mission, I've read that. JFK was great!!!

JFK did end the Cold War -- with humor, with patience and with a lot of help from
Pope John XXIII -- the last Italian/non-CIA Pope? and Kruschev -

Nuts like Rumsfeld, Cheney and other neo-cons then went to work for the MIIC to try to restart the
Cold War ---

and hot wars ---

Think they've succeeded . . . !!!!

Overall, the plan was to introduce military rule via the use of terrorist attacks --

11. I think the race is on to get Helium-3 supposedly

a clean energy source ... they want to mine the moon

also Lampson was saying they want to get solar energy from space and zap it into your houses

though I feel like why can't we have our own solar panels and control our own energy

but the technology is there

12. Music

Hi, I mostly lurk and read at this board but I had to register just to ask, what is that beautiful music that you used in your video? Thanks!
