Natural Science 301 Guidelines
This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.
As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

We should be out there making it work for us. Maybe we can't, but if we don't try it is guaranteed we can't.

I'm apparently one of about 3 people who liked the Obama era NASA idea of an asteroid return. Yes, it's not as glamorous as the moon or Mars. But it had 3 things going for it:
Asteroids preserve material as it originally existed in the disk that formed our solar system, and so tell us something about the history of every body in the solar system.
We will probably ultimately want to return asteroids to earth in order to extract their resources.
We will probably eventually want to build asteroid bases to avoid having to go into and out of the huge gravity wells of other planets and large moons.
So for me, it seemed to be the most forward looking idea to come out of NASA in ages. But it's not glamorous or high profile, so it died a quick political death. (It was also probably a non-starter due to the persistent underfunding of NASA.)"Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from trolling."

Going to an asteroid to get stuff is good. There just needs to be enough recoverable material there that it can return more $$$ than it costs to get it.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View Postwe definately have more commercial involvement than at any time previous. I guess we need to find out what kinds of mineral wealth exist on the moon, on mars, and on the asteroids, especially those that come close to Earth.

Wonder how you'll claim mining rights out there?

Of course, the REAL reason we don't go back to the moon is this actual documentary including an alleged photo employee who was told by "somebody high up" (or maybe she meant high on something) that aliens inhabit the moon....
Plus, there are lots of photos in the documentary that, if you stare at them long enough, you can imagine all kinds of stuff.
This is serious, kids!
Besides, I think that's a computer generated voice reading the script, so --- this is legit!!!!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
