The Japanese space agency intends to put a base on the moon before 2025, and they've not yet launched a manned spaceflight of their own! (They're currently in the testing phase of a rocket that could possibly carry manned crafts out to ISS or the moon.) If we get a base on the moon, that's a good first step to get a base on Mars. (It's quite possible that the best option for manned flight to Mars is to build (or at least assemble) the actual craft on the moon, thereby allowing a considerably higher weight of the spacecraft than launching from Earth would, allowing more essential materials for setting up a manned Mars base.) However, Burt Rutan had a point in his 2006 TED talk, [url]http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/4[/url], that neither aerospace engineering nor space engineering has progressed significantly since the sixties, even pointing out that both the fastest military and the fastest commercial airplanes to this date have been taken out of flight due to old age. -- var Liorean = { abode: "[sigrotate][url]http://liorean.web-graphics.com/[/url]\|[url]http://codingforums.com/[/url]\|[url]http://web-graphics.com/[/url][/sigrotate]", profile: "[url]http://codingforums.com/member.php?u=5798[/url]"}; Loading...
