what do you mean?

SittinOnDubsWGW · 07-06-2009, 10:38 PM

NASA is ending the shuttle program in 2010, 2011 at the latest.

They are still trying to develop something else for the future, forget the name of the project.

NASA is a HUGE waste of your money, $17.3 billion in 2008.

Constellation program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Would be nice if nuclear power could be controlled, like in submarines.

Or a nuclear power plant that isn' t Three Mile Island or Chernobyl.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 07-07-2009, 12:24 PM

NASA is 100% worth it. and 17.8 billion is chump change in the big scheme of things.

f3lix · 07-07-2009, 01:00 PM

NASA is great, but should not be gov't funded.

Accidents will happen, but we can't look to an isolated incident (Chernobyl) to determine whether or not to use nuclear power. It's actually an amazing thing and should def be used.

Dent · 07-07-2009, 01:15 PM

Chernobyl was a shitty dated Russian built piece of shit, nuclear power, with the right safety regulations is an easy way of having enough energy for everyone, very cheap energy and given proper disposal (Yucca mountain) doesn't fuck up the world.
If you watch the P&T, Nasa broke their own safety regulations, killing a few people, who's responsible for this? the government/everyone.
Three Mile Island was also designed shitty.

I have it on good word The Government is preventing acne cures from reaching the market.

Interesting. I'd love to hear your reasoning behind this.

Peoples' biggest qualm with nuclear power is that there is nowhere "safe" to store the waste. I'm ok with burying that shit in Siberia, but if we really need to I suggest we take all the world's radioactive waste, put it in a giant spaceship, and shoot that load right into the sun.

Of course if the ship doesn't make it out of the atmosphere.....

A space elevator would be quite handy for that sort of thing.

Uranium is not as bad as you think.
It is transported via lorry, if something happened where the contents were unloaded, they could be picked up (would advise a nuclear suit, but its not going to affect anything further than a few metres)

YouTube - Nuclear Flask Endurance Testing in USA

Transport of Radioactive Materials

cliffs :

* About twenty million consignments of all sizes containing radioactive materials are routinely transported worldwide annually on public roads, railways and ships.
* These use robust and secure containers. At sea, they are generally carried in purpose-built ships.
* Since 1971 there have been more than 20 000 shipments of used fuel and high-level wastes (over 80 000 tonnes) over many million kilometres.
* There has never been any accident in which a container with highly radioactive material has been breached, or has leaked.

Yet. Eventually, if the human race chills the fuck out and is able to survive another couple hundred years, space is probably going to be pretty important.

I'll say it again, I think NASA is great. I just don't think the gov't (taxpayers) should be forced to fund it.

Humans will only stop waging war on themselves once they realize our species is more important than our ethnicity.

Let the EU/Russia do it. Why should we have to pay for it all?

Why should I have to pay for it?

America is the only nation which makes Ex-pats still pay taxes even if they no longer live or work in America.

Mr. Blonde · 07-09-2009, 07:30 AM

That, i did not know. what kinds of taxes do you have to pay? I mean you don't earn or buy anything in the United States. What do they tax you on, exactly?

f3lix · 07-09-2009, 11:51 AM

Shaw, I'd have +repped you if I didn't have to go to YouTube and watch it due to invalid parameters.

DJ FC · 07-09-2009, 12:31 PM

Federal income taxes, IDK what else.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
