Why don't you see NASA use its MMU anymore? I know, do you?

Okay, dude...go ahead an impress us with this tidbit from your vast store of knowledge and wisdom.

They don't have a working reusable spacecraft. They designed and built a crude copy of our shuttle (theirs was called "Buran"), but it never flew and today is rusting away in some park somewhere.

NASA experiment a lot on this issue, maybe by login onto their site you'll find the info you're lookig for, luck..☺

I'm just personally wondering why they haven't tried in a very long time. Before it was just a pissing match with Russia. I know of many conspiracy theories out there showing things that contradict, but I don't know nor do I care.\n\nThe current Bush administration should care either to try to spend tax dollars on more pointless Moon and Mars missions. They should maybe try to focus on all of the stuff happening here on the ground first!

NASA launched the STEREO shuttle at the end of last month to gather data on the sun. I watched the entire count down and lift off. It was very educational. That baby flew at speeds exceeding 10000 meters per second. They had some weather problems and the launch got held back about 20 minutes, but when it launched it was really worth it. The next launch is on December 7th and I highly reccomend watching it. Its better than most of the crap on television!

I would have to say yes. As an avid amateur astronomer the search for knowledge is always a good thing. After all, the Hubble still has a few good years left in it, but they won't upgrade it (I think it's a mirror, that was made specifically for it, and it's still sitting on earth because NASA wants to scrap the Hubble). Mind you, I could be wrong about NASA's decision, since I heard it was going to change and they would be upgrading after all. As for us willing to spend the money, sure. After all, our tax dollars are being wasted elsewhere. I honestly believe the individual should decide where the majority of their own tax dollars are spent.

That makes no sense. It doesn't exist. Sorry, not applicable. Space shuttle year. What is that? Maybe try: http://www.nasa.gov

well i have not seen this avatar being used by anyone else till now. but mine is too common. i should have asked this question:)

Outdated is an understatement.  The shuttle's plans were drawn up in the late 1960s.  The main computer system is so outdated, it cannot be updated for a mission without it being totally wiped and having the code rewritten every time.   Thing is, the shuttle exists and is usable.  It costs less to use the existing technology than it would to build from scratch an entirely new vehicle.  Instead of a new orbiter, research is pointing towards crew only vehicles and cargo only vehicles and the new space elevator technology.  One of the purposes of the ISS was to be a build and launch from orbit platform.

I would go if I could afford it! Hopefully this commercilization of space will have the same effect as when anything becomes commercial - Things cost less and less and advancement come faster and faster. I'm waiting for a week long vacation at a space hotel.

NASA only hires highly educated people with degrees in math and science fields.  I know this because my husband considered it and researched it thoroughly.  If you don't have at least a Masters, they won't even give you the time of day.

I understand you question... It does not exist yet the PC that supports that ´cause I have 1 GB RAM and enough storage space for NASA in my computer and still not enough good for high quality video editing...

Our technology has improved quite a bit since the Apollo program. In particular, computers are able to do the routine chores that required humans back in the late 60's and early 70's. The person up in orbit was there to direct the orbiter to rendevous. This is no longer required.

There are no public system that allows for viewing live satelite images.\n\nSorry

Yes I have.  They featured an article about it on Space.com and the NASA website.  Seems that many other Kuiper belt objects have mutiple satellites (moons) as well.  It will be interesting what the New Horizon probe will find when it gets out to Pluto and beyond.  I am hoping the launch will be on time so it can use the gravitational assist from Jupiter to get there quicker.  There was a NASA site where a person could get their name placed on a CD that is launching with the probe.  Several of my friends and I signed up and our names are on that disk now.
