beardedbruce BS: Space program goals (136* d) RE: BS: Space program goals 20 Dec 16


Mr. Shaw,

"Bollocks, Bruce. That's just pie in the sky and you know it. "


Please tell us how much experience in the space program you have, to make such an observation.

No, it is not bollocks.


We have had the technology since about 1985 to send men to Mars and return them safely. We have the knowledge now, from ISS, to know that this can be done safely, even in zero-gee traveling vehicles.

I can see no reason that the effort to send men to Mars would be a waste of resources- in fact, looking at the spinoffs from the space program, I think that it would be more effective to be going to Mars than any of the present efforts to stop climate change, in terms of efficiency of energy usage and pollution control.


Please tell us how much experience in the space program you have, to make such an observation.
