How come people seem to think that just because posts are made on the bohica board, they are not supposed to be posted here.

I don't look at the bohica board, I have no clue what bohica is, and I would venture to say that most people on these boards do not visit the bohica boards either.

huttah - space flight!

IMO, this is a bad idea. If we set up a perm station on the moon, we will end up ditching the Int'l Nat'l space station, which right now is a great thing bringing nations together working for a common goal.

I say we wait a LONG time before the moon or mars. (The article said bush wanted a moon thing for the anniversary of the wright bro's... that's only 8-10 yrs away)

I say we nuke mars.....

NUKE em ALL!

$500 billion dollars? That would cost every working American $2,000... I sure as hell don't wana pay $2,000 to put a base on the moon.

Take that $500 billion and put it into the National Ignition Facility; lets get fusion power this decade please. The benifits of clean power, and upwards of 1,000 times MORE power then what we have now (ie... cheap power) would change our lives so dramatically that I doubt anyone could fathom what life would be like... Instantly research would shift from combustion/fuel-based transportation to pure electric cars. Imagine going outside on a hot day and not seeing a haze over the downtown area of your city, not hearing the loud rumble of a gas engine, not paying $20 in gas for 300 miles of travel!

What are the benifits to you or I for having a dome on the moon? That is one expensive status symbol, ehh?

While I'm almost ready to agree with you, Squick, you're forgetting about all of the spinoff applications that the developments for such a program would have.

They might turn out to be more substantial than fusion, at least in the short term.

Yea we gotta build that base on the moon so when the Chinese land on it we can make there accomplishment feel even more insignificant and be like, "hey bitch what took you so long? well now that your hear why don't you crash the night here on our MOON BASE"

its all about being intimidating and one step ahead of everyone else

It all makes sense, this is what we will say to the foreigners to the moon: as told by great prophet squeekeh "Last time i warn you. Step the fuck off my koolaid bitch"

Finally, it's about damn time we go back there. F the international space station.
