President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Also not the point.

The return to the moon is a smaller part of the project to go to Mars.

 

If nothing else, going to the moon allows you to test technologies and techniques for travel into deeper space. Similar to how the early 1960s orbital missions were all, eventually, things that were needed to make the Apollo missions work.

 

Of course, a couple of weeks back Trump was saying "Screw going back to the moon, we've done that. We need to think big, go to Mars!"

 

A Mars trip with a return would require nearly 3 years just because of the orbital logistics. The period in which Mars draws closest to Earth is approximately 780 days (2 years plus 50 days). To start out, you have to leave Earth about 7 months in advance to hit that first conjunction. Then there's a window in which you have to depart Mars to hit Earth at that second conjunction. That leaves you a year and change where you're stuck on Mars but can explore to your heart's content.

Until then, we have to wait for Stephen King to invent the Jaunt to Whitehead City.

 

And just a few weeks before that, wasn't he all in on Space Force?

 

Dude, it’s forever in there.

 

I honestly can't fathom a single voter on either side of the aisle supporting measures that restrict people's ability to vote. It's completely mind-blowing to me that anyone would be like, "They're bringing in buses of people to vote!!!" as if that's some sort of disqualifier. Like, yeah, asshole, it's called Democracy. We all get to vote, even if a bunch of us need a fucking ride to do it.

 

They just don't want all them black and brown people jumping into cars to go vote.

 

Unless we come up with some way to manufacture vehicle components, or most importantly, obtain fuel, on the moon, it is entirely possible (although unlikely) we could go to Mars without going any higher than low earth orbit approximately 250 miles up until the day we launch the first ship to Mars.

It is also entirely possible that a manned mission to Mars is beyond our current technological capacity, or beyond the physiological capacity of humans, regardless of what we do or may do on the moon.

It is more than possible, in fact certain, that any manned mission to Mars will be impossible without a dramatic increase in funding and technological resources. Whether this increase comes from the US government or somebody else remains to be seen.

It ain't coming from Fatfuck or the rest of his wrecking crew. They don't want to pay no taxes for nothin' -- period.

Go to the moon or Mars? Shit, they don't want the government to fund a passenger train from Washington to Baltimore.

There are also very good technological and (potentially) economic reasons we should go back to the moon, regardless of what we do in regards to Mars.

But Fatboy is the dumb fuck kid who sat in the back of science class in fifth grade making fart noises with his armpits.

He and the rest of the dumb fucks are making the calls. They're gonna show all the smarty pants who got A's and B's while they were getting D-pluses. Poot-poot!
