Back to the Moon! (and a Marvin the Martian Filmography)


If this rumor: "Yahoo! News - Bush Plans to Send Americans to Moon, on to Mars" turns out to be true, we may be going back to the moon and possibly even more...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Buoyed by a successful landing on Mars by a robot explorer, President Bush (news - web sites) plans a major announcement on space policy next week that envisions sending Americans back to the moon and ultimately to Mars, officials and congressional aides said on Thursday.

In other news NASA is still trying to prove they really expected to make it to Mars this time. The current trouble, like previous Mars problems, is undoubtably due to interference by a certain local.

And here it is! A Marvin the Martian Filmography put together by Raleigh, a devoted fan.

A base on the moon is one of the biggest space ventures since we landed on the moon in the 1960's, I think it will be quite interesting to see if it really was a hoax, as some claim, or if it becomes a valuable resource for future space travel. I am excited about the upcoming space projects what about everyone else?

I would like to see it happen. I just don't know if I take the initiative seriously. This could all just be election year bravado. If this does turn into a base on the moon and especially if this turns into a permamnent, sustainable and growing presence of humans in space, I think it's the most important thing to happen since fire.

I definitely agree with that, however, why would we have a space station if it wasnt going to be used for jumps to other planets (or the moon) just to sit in orbit and collect data?? Also do you think that the side effects from living in an low grav environment over long periods of time could cause serious tissue damage to the human musclar and nervous systems??
