Ah ha, even more proof that man can't make it to the moon!

If what you say is true. How come Russia is trying piggyback on the US to get to the Moon?

Because, as has been said, the Russians are slightly strapped for cash. Anyone would rather have someone else share costs than pay for everything themselves.

I believe NASA also isn't doing so wel financial, there to costly the entire manned Chinese space program has costs 19 billion yuan or 2.3 billion dollars that's what what the space shuttle program costs every 6 months... 6 months maintenance VS a entire build up from the ground.
NASA is yust to costly...

 

Just a question: how long was it between the discovery/ first trip to America and the regular colonisation? And how much more costly and difficult would it be to "man the moon"?

 

thats why there are peopole here to tell you what to think.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Columbus
Asuming we grant Columbus the title of the discovery in 1492... then the first settlement was in 1492, La navidad with a population of 39 men. But it was destroyed by natives.
SO he did the right thing and in 1493 he founded la isabella... So afther failing ones it took him abouth a year...

My gues is that later people will see the apollo missions something like the Viking discovery of america and will generally be regarded as not a important event

 

Money? Lift capability? National will?

Clearly not? How not?

Actually it would, as Heinlein said "once you're on the Moon it's halfway to anywhere in the Solar System". But then there's people like Proxmire and co. that don't want the resources allocated...

 

Orcot:

from the same link you posted.
and I said REGULAR colonisation. Plus which transatlantic is considerably easier than cis-lunar. More air for a start....

 

anyone see a flag with there telescope?

 

Oh for crying out loud, read the thread on faked moonlandings,

Can't you just look through a very good telescope and see evidence of the moon landing?

 

Nope.

 

Shucks.

 

You're correct. That's why the Mir project was privatized. If we privatized the space industry in America we would be leaps and bounds above NASA.
