Bu$h plan to go to Mars

Quote from blackguard:
guys, this is a complete joke! Do you realise man has never been to the moon much less Mars?!? Yes, that's true. There's a thing called the Van Allen Belt outside the Earths orbit, which is an intense radiation field. We didn't have the technology for man to survive that 25 years ago, and we still don't have the technology today. Anything living that goes through that dies.

so, anytime you hear that Bu$h wants a man on Mars, just laugh to yourself, coz they're stealing your tax dollar$.

I also have doubts about those pictures sent back from Mars recently. Looks a lot like the Nevada desert to me.

Just a thought.

You need to get back on the lithium dude.

You been watching old sci-fi movies?? Next thing you'll be telling everyone that the Van Allen Belt can catch fire and incinerate the planet. But don't worry, the Seaview will make it to the proper launch point in time to launch a nuke to "seed the belt with radiation and cause it to blow outward away from the Earth".

The belts are just solar plasma caught in the magnetosphere and don't even completely encapsulate the globe - they span a toroidal zone about 65 degrees from the celestial equator.

Highest particle intensity is about 2,000 miles thick for the inner belt and 3,000 miles thick for the outer belt.

Aside from the fact that the time to transit those zones is fairly short when traveling at even the nominal 25K MPH typical of the translunar trajectory of the late '60s, a couple millimeters of lead shielding (or about 6-8mm of aluminum shielding) will block the particles trapped in the belts. In addition, since they don't completely enclose the planet, a trajectory that circumvents the Belts can be plotted.

Do you get all your scientific information from the National Enquirer and back issues of Saga magazine?
 
Quote from Covertibility:

We went to the moon. We walked, drove a car around and brought back rocks. Big deal. You expect to find some book laying around on the moon or on Mars that will tell us everything?

We've seen the pictures of the universe and OOOHHH, how purdy but big whoop deee doo. Spending a ton of money to take long trips to get rocks seems like a complete waste of time and money.

:D Amen.
 
just the fact that you guys won't even entertain an opposing viewpoint tells me:

1) you are very narrow minded
2) you are brainwashed and probably don't know it
3) you have never had an original thought of your own

have a nice day,
