Time to change the sheets. :hehe:

:rofl:

Yeah...I think she's cute, but she's a mother...and married! There's something Freudian going on here....

The folks at JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) seem to be trying to heat up a new "Space Race".

JAXA had a few embarassing failures in the mid '90s, and their program sort of got put on the back burners. (For the longest time they've said that their only focus is unmanned mission.)

But in '03 China put their first manned vehicle in orbit, announced that they would be shooting for the Moon in the near future, and whatdoyouknow... Japan got back on the horse.

They've updated their rockets... got the ball rolling by talking about the need for better satelite coverage over Asia (the tsunami disaster et.al.)...

And now they are talking about their plan to develop a NASA type shuttle so that they can establish a research base on the Moon.

My question is... how long before the U.S. jumps back into RACE MODE?

You know W's interested. Texas and Florida are Aerospace Central for the U.S. and the Aerospace companies in those two states are huge Bush backers. They'd love to get another race going.

I'm not complaining. I was in High School when the U.S. landed the first men on the Moon, and I've always thought that was the outstanding accomplishment of the last generation. And I"d be really kind of excited to see us back in Race Mode.

Come on Japan!

Hi, Geezer. Been awhile.

Respectfully asking -- and, just to clarify -- I can count you as one of the majority of us who do believe (no . . . KNOW) that men landed on the moon; and that the U.S. was first?

Maybe when we stop spending 400+ billion on the military....

Hahahahahahaha!!!

I love those yabbos. I love Conspiracy Theories.

But not that one.

I lived through, watched and followed the successes and the tragic failures.

The story about how it was all created on a back lot in Hollywood has always more annoyed than amused me.

If we'd failed, and we did have failures, it wouldn't have turned the country off. People were too committed to achieving the goal.

There was no reason, as far as I can see, to fake it.

Man, I can still remember sitting in front of the TV with my grandfather, watching the landing. The cool thing that struck me, that day, was that my Grandpa, who was sitting there watching with me, was born before the Wright Brothers first flight at Kitty Hawk.

Mine?? Currently 200/mo for 5 years, but I may change it to 100/mo for the 10 years... :beaten:

Wow, how much did you take out? I think my total was $12,000, and that included subsidized loans that I don't have to pay interest on.

Let's just say I can't remember the total and leave it at that.... :puppydog: :beaten:

Oops, sorry.... :bonk: :notell: :mrgreen:
