Well, I actually did read the article. I found it rather upbeat regardless of the outcome.
All of space exploration has been a suicide mission and some of them never left earth or the atmosphere. Some almost made it back only to be scattered over E. Texas. (I vividly remember that day).
didn’t God say we should re-produce? ;)
They said the same thing about the Wright brothers, they said the same thing about the moon and they have been saying the same thing about deep sea exploration............
Fortunately nobody listened to your negativity...........
That was my thought - “She’s privileged because her family paid for her to go to space camp!”
NASA will find a flaw with her and start training a black Muslim transgender “boy” to do the mission.
Holland’s colonization mission will already have been on Mars for seven years before she gets there.
Is her name Mary-Sue by any chance?
“This girl might be going to Mars. But she ain’t coming back. “
Mars aint no place to raise or send a kid.
It is more than just shooting a person in a tube to another planet. You need to find somebody who can be psychologically equipped to stay in that tube for 6 months without wanting to end it all by opening the hatch. You also need somebody who can keep himself occupied during the entire mission by doing hundreds of small experiments.
I'm with you on this. We couldn't even exploit our trip to the moon. After all the roads and bridges are fixed and the 20 trillion dollar debt is payed off, and all the fires are out, then maybe we do it. Or maybe not. In any case it's not a priority.
It's really just a "make work" program for scientists government employees.
My wife and I were just trying to do the math on how big the trailer needs to be for the Tampons or pads to get her through the trip there and back. It will have to be bigger than the spacecraft it’s self.There ain’t no getting around this biological fact.They might as well stop the funds to this one, it is already a fail from the get go...
Her first question, “Do I still get unlimited minutes to anywhere?”
I’ll go... I know I won’t live to make it but earth is beginning to suck really bad.
NASA budget time ping!
You point to wisdom (not even to mention common sense) as usual.
“...as to how groups of astronauts might cope with various human feelings...”
You mean they feel the need to study that? No wonder we have to hire the Russians to get us to the space station.
Wow a GIRL astronaut, we’ve never had one of THOSE.
Such a giddy poorly written article, that actually sounds more like something from those old Tiger Beat magazines my sister used to read as a teen.
My first thought is, this is not going to end well, it was a PC choice and this is the very first manned Mars effort which is no place for that.
I would rather have my tax dollars spent on prosecuting Hillary than going to Mars. Without the rule of law it all comes down.
