I scorn Obama, but when he said that we can't afford manned space flight, on that particular occasion he wasn't lying. It's not a good investment. Personally, I'm OK with robot probes, and with the Hubble telescope; we've learned a lot from them, and I hope will continue to do so.
ReplyDeletePretty much.
ReplyDeleteCrewed deep space exploration will be an international effort.
It has to be.
By treaty no one nation can claim worlds or moons.
If we had a manned Mars Mission that was successful. If it happened now. #45 would claim that planet for the USA,...or himself personally.
We'll get there in time as a community of nations.
Till then robotic exploration continues. Probes are soon to be launched on new missions. Others are planned. As I say we're doing pretty good for only 60 years in that department.
Manned deep space flights still have the deadly difficulties of radiation micro-impacts on the vessel, and the gravity management problems. Long term weightlessness destroys bodily health.
The artificial gravity rings as in science fiction are still so far the best cure. However it is complicated prone to failures, and may not be sustainable. Not for missions of several years back, and forth.
In 50 years we may have licked most or all of these problems.
20 if there was the interest or funding,...but there isn't.
As the Alien presence said in the book "Contact", "...small steps."
