[QUOTE="Boozegood:1175578"][QUOTE="hauptpflucker:1175363"]NASA was most important when they were well funded and doing high profile innovative things. Now they fascilitate the same low orbit taxi/glorified tech support and people are bored. Now that program is ending and no one sees anything within our technical grasp worth doing and I see little hope for Nasa getting the huge funding they need to do anything as gripping as a moon walk. Instead I think private sector companies will control the (at least immediate) future or american spaceflight. It will likely be a touristy thing and or the company may send simple ore haulers to their doom in search of hungry aliens with acid blood.[/QUOTE] I agree, but in a different direction. The commercial take-over of low-orbit tourism, or even eventually lunar tourism, will free NASA to continue on scientific and exploratory endeavors. They will not have to waste resources on sending rich people into low-orbit and instead can concentrate on continuing the efforts for Mars. Also of course their research will be able to continue full force, in all aspects of science and engineering. With the research going on across the world in places such as the LHC, if NASA was able to stretch it's arms and get funded to join up with all of these projects, wild wild shit would go down. Alternatively, NASA could be used as a public figurehead to spark the imagination of this coming generation to instead of saying 'UGH I FUCKING HATE MATH AND SCIENCE WHEN AM I EVER GONNA USE IT!' they would start dreaming of working in those fields, along with engineering, like children during the space-race. Behind the scenes the NSF and NIH can slay some research as well, while NASA sparks peoples imaginations and makes them dream. Well fuck, just let a much more cool and much more intelligent man say it much better than I: [youtube=RQhNZENMG1o][/QUOTE]
