This all makes me wish we had subcontracted the space program out to
the chinese, along with our commercial satellites...

.... besides, on the whole the chinese have smaller bodies masses than
us, cheaper to slingshot 'em into space... grin

I'll try to monitor 10780 khz on Monday, July 25 in the hope of
learning which frequencies to tune to during and after the launch. If I
miss the announcement, hopefully someone else will catch it.

People in outer space is a huge boondoggle and pork program. Total
****ing waste of money.


You're wrong but thanks for playing anyway. Your house if full of
benefits from the space program but you seem to either forget or not
know that...

I didn't say the ''Space Program''. I said people in space.

A LOT of what we've gained are from PEOPLE going into space USING the
technology that's been developed for PEOPLE like me and you.

Medical imaging and equiptment for starters. Drugs for another. Fire
protection gear for firefighters for another. There are books FILLED
with examples.

That's just silly. Why would we not have developed medical imaging if
we had no penis in space program?

Some scientist say out Sun is going to burn out in about four and a half
billion years so we have to hurry up and find another Planet in another
Star system far,far away to live on.Although I seriously doubt there
will be any Humans on Earth anywhere near that time frame,we will either
self destruct or a Meteor or a Comet will knock the heck out of
Earth.Besides,Space is another Frontier and Humans have to Explore
things.

What kind of service is the 10,780 KHz supposed to be?

How about a link.
