Essencay: did they build a cloaking device for the moon station too? Cuz i think someone would have spotted it by now

we've already developed alternate fuels for cars. one such i know of is derived from corn oil. when you need more fuel, you grow more corn. its being fought, of course, by the oil industry. if politics werent so wrapped up in oil, these alternate ideas might be gaining some steam. lukily car manufacturers ARE proceeding with a government plan to develope cars that get 75mpg by 2010 or something like that. Hybrid cars, available now, get very high milage and electric cars..well, there you go. they are out there. people just have to want to use them.

you can put that up on the shelf with rumors that an oil collation bought the plans for an engine that runs on water, to keep their industry alive. or that could be something the democrats made up

I don't understand this discussion. You americans won't go to the moon, you've never been there!

A strong space program benefits the contry more than most people realize.......... every dollar spent on the Apollo program has been returned 7 to 1, in tax revenues paid on products developed and marketed for civilian use. Things such as;

Ski boots
Fire Fighters equipment
Cordless power tools
Sat TV
A lot of our Medical imaging technology is a direct result of NASA research
The Joy Sticks you use on your video game
This goes on, and on..................

People also don't seem to realize that NASA doesn't build anything, NASA hires civilian companies to produce what it needs. These companies often hire other companies to build the tools they need. (this creates jobs)

 

country....... so sue me, I'm not the spul chuker.  

kongit is thinking about trying to go into aerospace engineering. having the space program back up and thriving will help him enormously. otherwise he hopes to make cars or ships.

no military for me. Just isn't for me.

I support everybody in the military enthusiastically, but I will not willingly join it.
