Murse Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 As did I! I'm a total science nerd, I would have given anything to be just a fly on the wall there. I hope this will restore faith in our gov and people that NASA can do amazing things and with the funding anything is possible. The kids will grow up again wanting to be astronauts, scientists, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh8sti Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 so they spend 500 billion to take pictures of arizona? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furloaf Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 so they spend 500 billion to take pictures of arizona? http://www.knowledgeorb.com/2012/07/mars-science-lab-curiosity-worth-cost/ So far the rover has cost $2.5 billion... NASA has a yearly budget of approximately 17.7 billion dollars. Therefore MSL represents about 15% of one years budget. In comparison the James Webb Telescope will run about $8.7 billion and the new Space Launch System is estimated to run $41 billion. The cost to each U.S. citizen for the Mars Rover is about $8 each, about the same cost as a meal at McDonald’s. The total NASA budget is so small when compared to other government agencies it is at times amazing such good missions are still possible. NASA represents about 0.5% of the total U.S. Government spending. There are many other goverment programs that should be cut before NASA, in my opinion.

BloodRed Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Saw this on Twitter this morning: Only in America can we watch a robot landing on Mars in real time, and we have to wait 10 hours to watch Olympic coverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Cranium Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Who gives a fuck what's on Mars.... We know, we know. You're much more excited about NASA exploring Uranus. Give them a couple more years and they will launch that probe and you will get the satisfaction you are yearning for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justinwebb Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 just the technology and logistics hurdles of this mission were amazing, I am glad they pulled it off and the fact that its a size of a car is impressive in itself. Its good to see NASA and JPL are still keeping busy, and I wish I could be the guy doing the driving for Curiosity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Who gives a fuck what's on Mars.... The rumors are plenty of oil and no traffic. So you can race your 1000whp vehicle as fast as you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
