Long May You Fly !!

Another bloger was bitching about the money the U.S. is spending on the space program,,,,get a brain!!





Warning,Rant ahead!!




We send people into space useing what is early 1970's technology after it was raped by the bureaucrats and politicians.Then the nomral guy on the streets,wonders why the shuttles fail.Duh....,they were made to last about 20 years(before they got cut),,,,anybody out there what do the math?Add to that the shit happens factor,you can do your best but random crap happens.Go ahead and "get the but it should not have happened"and "we should have fixed that before it failed"out of your mind,hind sight is always 20/20,we are human.
It is a frontier,people die,but that has not slowed down the human race up intell now.Think about it people,how many died founding the U.S. or any other country?LOL,do you think if you saw everybody killed in a auto wreck every day,would you stop driveing,or would you keep on doing what you have to do ?
Yes, the folks that strap a small nuke to their asses and then ride it into space are brave (IMO and hero's)are they braver than the folk's that put themselves into the hole of a 1800's sailing ship or walked across a iceage land bridge?Good question,but I'll let somebody else spilt that hair.
Realy,they all come down to one thing,resources.Very,simple realy.
Whithout numbers it is easy to see.

x = earth and it's resource's
y = is the number of humans


x (earth)is what we started with,,,it's not growing
y keeps getting larger


So,leaveing out alot of crap and double talk:

As time goes by,every person(y) gets a smaller peice of the pie(x),,want to guess what thats going to do for the human race?I will pass on the bitching about use of resourses and help for the 3rd world countries(and are the 3rd world countries going to help the problem?....another rant),Yes,the U.S. and other 1st world(is that a word?)use more of the worlds resourses,,,,,,and everybody else wants the tech we have,,,not going to happen inless we can make the (x) bigger.
How can any bureaucrat,politician,or anybody with a thought in their head for the next generation,say that we are wasteing money on space?

I could go on for a hell of a long time,,but one last thought.Do you what your kids,and grandkids looking back and calling you a bunch of loses,nuts(or worse),,,Hmmmmm,that is saying if there are people here.
