I do recall that Bush senior proposed going back to the Moon way back during the end of the 1980s or beginning of 1990s... what happened to that anyway? Maybe sonny here is just doing what dad started
Maybe someone should get the blueprints of that big ol' russian Rocket... Nositel 1 I think it was called. I mean balancing out those 30 odd engines shouldn't be a problemn today with all the computing power we have... and besides those rockets looked so COOL. Too bad so many blew up in their faces on take off... no wait I think they all blew up hehehe... maybe we'd also need to talk to some of the former KGB officials that had all the spare parts destroyed and buried after the moon program was abandoned... correction ERASED
Yeah I too was SO annoyed when they canceled Venture Star... I mean why the hell did they do that. It was almost working and they had several ful-size engies and a smaller prototype of the thing built and estimates said it would reduce the cost of goin to space by 70%-90% compared to the space shuttle. Those stupid %#&#"!"$#!
