Can NASA get anything right?



It seems NASA is not really going anywhere
and for the past 20 years all they have to
show is a bunch of disasters.

And unless you blindly believe the moon
landings, NASA is just a huge strain on the
finances.

Should this multi corporate disaster be disbanded
and all funding ceased?

Idiot. Ever heard of the Hubble Space Telescope? Ever heard of our very successful Mars probes? Ever heard of the International Space Station?

Hi Titor

I am not going to call you an idiot

Lets look at the benefits of space exploration,

Computers, what would we do without them now

Mobile phones

LED, LCD, I bet you havea great LCD TV at home right

Medical Scanning Technology

Digital Watches

New Materials such as Carbon Fibre, Milar, Kevlar, Ceramics

Solar Power

Development of High Efficiency Radio Tranmission

The walk on the moon brought to whole of humanity together for a moment, and NASA did that.

It was probably the catalyst that finally won you the cold war

Now Normally we would need a war to generate that sort of increase in Technology
so from a under funded agency, who's doing wonders with relatively little compared to the Appollo Space Program, I think they demand your apology

Hi Titor

Just a suggestion, but starting your posts with "Hi Titor" makes it sound like you are replying to yourself. Because of that, I have no idea who your last post was addressed to. Please be more clear from now on.
