RE: Shuttle solid booster ride up and back
Except that NASA has historically returned greater than $7 on each dollar spent in tech benefits.

Amazing video.

RE: Shuttle solid booster ride up and back
Awesome Video. My Dad worked for Thiokol for thirty years part of the time working on the shuttle booster program. He would have loved seeing this video. It's pretty sad out there now they have laid off and downsized a huge chunk of people in the past few years. I remember as a kid they would bolt them to the ground and test fire them, amazing the power!

I'm hoping all those laid off from the shuttle program will enter the private space sector and do things better will all that commercial money!

It will simply not work that way. Elon does not want to pay for the folks that know how to do it right and they are just doing it on the cheap. They will learn, but sadly they will learn the hard way. They will end up cheaper, but not by a lot. Human spaceflight is VERY difficult and expensive. Why do you think it took the third country to put men in space 40 more years than the first two? And they already had the info from the others!

The end of the shuttle program without a replacement is yet another example of why anything run by government is a bad idea.

RE: Shuttle solid booster ride up and back
ORIGINAL: Woketman ORIGINAL: tsawyer148 There is a bright spot in that a new heavy lift and seperate manned vehicle are being developed and the boosters are almost to the qualification stages. Just hope that it all comes together as intended so we can get back to the lead in space exploration....My job kinda depends on it. Quite honestly, I give a manned Orion a 50/50 chance. If this fool gets back into the White House, make that a 20% chance of ever flying. SLS is even lower. SLS with liquid strap ons, even lower still. We as a nation are finished when we no longer care about doing great things. We are done.... Yes I agree. it is a real shame, one has to choose his battles, and some battles (wars) were chosen by mistake, unfortunately. Gerrry |
