I think it’s time for a big Trump Resort out in space. I’m guessing the liberals wouldn’t like that too much.
This is why we need Spacex’s Crewed Dragon up and running ASAP. Test launch with no crew it set for January, but this might mess that up. Not sure if they need anyone inside to dock with a new system. The Boeing CST-100 is also coming online next year, so they’re coming, but hopefully not too late.
Was the soyuz checked for “extra” holes drilled into it yet ???
From the folks wearing wire harnesses to simulate floating in space, to videos showing bubbles rising as they are walking in space (the bubbles as proof it's really being shot inside a pool), to actual pieces of green screens being used for the video footage.
But what they would want even more is to fully take it over and turn it into a weapon platform, while also using it for their own research.
Many people would not be sleeping comfortable at nights if they ever got to place a nuke weapon platform into space, and I'm very sure that the Russians would balk at that too!
The thought of 100 Chinese nuke warheads, each with 300 KT, orbiting just 250 miles over my head, is totally unacceptable! Where are the 56 fabled Solar Warden spaceships that the USA is supposed have?
Actually not - only the ‘planned end’ (funding end) not the actual end (physical deterioration) - they were in the process of expanding the station
Let’s put some risk back into spaceflight and send up the Dragon with personnel and supplies.
I’m as pro space any anybody but what has the ISS project actually accomplished.
Other than sucking up 10’s of billions of dollars that would have been better spent elsewhere.
20 years old and continuously occupied with no ventilation? That thing has got to be absolutely rancid by now.
What is the point of it at this time anyway? I don’t see a compelling need to have people orbiting the earth in a tin can just because.
