[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3081048, member: 5412"] The masses didn't have the balls to fly Mercury and Gemini missions. It took special people to look that in the eye and performed those missions. That being said, WTF is it with Musk putting a roadster in space? Yeah, his money, his option, but why not rainbow glitter and unicorn symbols in giant holographs that can be seen from earth? I don't see the point when something that could benefit the US or the world like an observatory or communications, or something useful. It is very cool to bring the boosters and maybe next time the main booster back to earth for re-use. I think I read it was in the 90 million for the launch vs several billion that the .gov launches cost under NASA. I was pretty pissed when Obama turned NASA into a political arm of the democratic party and defunded the space money, but in reality, it's turned out pretty well under private ownership. Wait a minute!!! How much money has Musk got from .gov for development? Somebody help me here. Isn't he the person carrying the title of the richest government grant money man on earth? [/QUOTE]
