This administration is inept….just what we need, more studies

yeah someone should by him a digital clock.

I agree that they are good at operations but design and build are different things.

Put down the mirror. 1+1=2, not 11 amd your attempts at false equivalency are denser than Jupiter’s atmosphere. You fly nobody. It comes down to this: Put someone up, or shut up. Until then, you have nothing but paper proposals, empty promises, go begging for government subsidies and boast of things to come– like Fearless Leader retiring on Mars. And the Musketeers sing: “Say, it’s only a paper moon/Sailing over a cardboard sea/But it wouldn’t be make-believe/If you believed in me.” Tick-tock, tick-tock.

“Are you [DCSCA] really that stupid?”

I think it’s a mental issue, since he keeps repeating things.

“The current people at NASA are flying astronauts to orbit on a launcher developed by the previous generation before them.”

And substantially run by the same evil commercial aerospace industry that he like to rail against.

NASA does HSF program management, but they don’t design and they don’t build.

DCSCA is still getting “updates” from the Apollo program, so he’s a little behind the times…

Are you really that stupid? Did you not comprehend what I wrote? The current people at NASA are flying astronauts to orbit on a launcher developed by the previous generation before them. Because someone else previously at NASA could successfully build a launcher does not mean the current people know how to do it. Launching a vehicle and developing a vehicle are two different things. It’s a lot easier to maintain and use something than it is to create it. I can maintain and drive my car without knowing how to build an automobile.

Not worthy?? High time YOU faced it. Just do it. Fly somebody. Take risk NASA did orbiting Glenn, when (per Kraft’s memoirs) the reliability of missile technology at the time was 60% or so. Get somebody up, around and back safely. So far, in 50 years, commercial HSF has failed to accomplish this.

“Face it, SpaceX is ahead right now in its efforts toward putting humans into orbit simply due to the fact that they have reached orbit and NASA (under management using traditional methods) has not.”

ROFLMAOPIP NASA has been flying people into and back from space for half a century– in that span of time to LEO and to the moon and back. Even the PRC is orbiting crews. Even Iran plans to loft monkeys into space. SpaceX has flown a wheel of cheese.

It is mid-2011. Face it: SpaceX has not launched orbited and returned ANYBODY. NBC News has reported they won’t even try for 4 to 5 years. It’s false equivalency; it’s empty promises; it’s a paper space project, fueled by press releases. They fly nobody. .And the Musketeers continue to sing: “Say, it’s only a paper moon/Sailing over a cardboard sea/But it wouldn’t be make-believe/If you believed in me.” It comes dow to this: put somebody up or shut-up. Tick-tock, tick-tock…
