This Week in Space 7 - February 19, 2010
October 2nd, 2010
The International Space Station gets a room with a view like no other - many wish NASA had as clear a view of what is next in space. “This Week in Space” talks to the exiled president of the “Constellation Nation” - former NASA boss Mike Griffin - who equates the Obama decision to Richard Nixon’s cancellation of Apollo - only worse. And we hear from a leading space entrepreneur - Eric Anderson of Space Adventures - who says the Obama plan is “brilliant…a masterstroke of US Space policy”. Now that your head is spinning - why not join us for a beautiful, relaxing ride on a Zeppelin! Yes, seven decades after the “Oh the humanity” moment in New Jersey - the big airships are floating on a new wave of public interest.

@masik7290 lol :D
@charlieechovictor THANKS, AND I SAID SOON NOT 2DAY LOL. MAYBE IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS- 99 YEARS
@masik7290 well happy birthday… Oh and happy death day…
THIS IS MY BIRTHDAY :D, BUT IM THINKING OF ENDING MY LIFE SOON SO I GEUESS THAT DOESNT MATTER , BYE!!!
@charlieechovictor I think that developing commercial human space flight would contribute to the research of untrained Astropassengers safety. And would benefit the government would benefit of this experience !
But I would have to say that we mustn’t loose sight of the constellation program. Cause this would be a big mistake.
Charter flight to the International space station for two people: 129$
Or 6 000 000 000 $ to the moon for 8 Astronauts and 13 000 000 000 $ for mars for 3 Astronauts.
I would say, why do we want to go to mars and moon if we can’t develop a cheap transport for low altitude space flight, get to the fundamentals ! We have Robots up there that cost less and contribute to having 0 live losses and have billions of pixels to take pictures of all types… Alien human civilization is still far for now
@HighCardWins You’re talking about LaVeyan Satanism, but there is Theistic Satanism such as the order of the Temple of Set. LaVeyan Satanism is much more than mere atheism, it is a violent reaction against Christian and all Right Hand Path religious philosophies, and it’s practice is deeply spiritual. That makes it very much having lots to do with religion. Being atheist does not make something nonreligious: there is no deity in hinayana buddhism either.
@Echeque5 for all yet, the earth is a punishing planet, the hell in real. and exactly the same it nevertheless also looks, or?

@ONPRIEL - The same question applies to you; why would you hate having a life?
@chaddie78 - Why would you hate earth? Compared to the other choices, it’s a pretty wonderful place! Air, water, food, life. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!
@chaddie78 me to.
i hate this planet.
@audo1977 - With you spreading such hatred for your fellow American, I’m guessing you must be a liberal/socialist democrat, eh? “heh, heh”
@Echeque5 agreed
lol…you sound ignorant yourself…bab3boo1….must be republican…heh heh.
@RainbowsixOperator - If King Obama is so, “smart”, then he’s sure doing a great job of ripping the U.S. to pieces!
Lol, read this while waiting for buffer. ha so true.
so many reason why people do it..mainly because it makes them feel better about themselves, however people on here could very well be smarter than the president, In a bored E.E. at work with nothing to do right now. i’m pretty sure i know more about electronics than Obama. that doent mean i’m smarter or he’s smarter. i just know some stuff better more thuroughly than he does. and he knows law and politics better than i do..
Not true on several accounts. We have made anti -mater on earth and contained it for short periods of time. Its destructive force is greate but not “black hole” creating destruction some make it out to be. there is a good documetery on youtube about it. and a doc at CERN that is working on a method of binding anti-mater to some neutral atom and using magnetic fields to contain it. sad thing is EU will have it and use it before us cause we’re giving up on technology…
@odcoolshark75
i know what a warp engine is suppose to do and how it might would work,
antimatter on earth is not possible since we do not have any way whatsoever
to contain it as for now and it would blow up right away,possible blow
up earth as we know it ,so whatever it is that you smoke,stop it ,it doesnt
help you at all
Are you sure you’re not seeing what you want to see?
lol swear obama says “uh” every few seconds. Them people were mabe like wtf?
I don’t want to offend but You are way better than Spacevidcast. . And you are alone ! A good dynamic presentation of a wealth of information and a touch of humor ! Well balanced ! Hats off !
You are almost Zero G while spacevidcast is still below the troposphere .Hard Core Space info !!
Gotta love it !!!!!!!
Why do people talk trash about Obama as a person? Hes smarter than you so STFU or GTFO.
