Instead of wasting money on SpaceX bs and that huge giant dildo rocket NASA is wasting 50bn on since 2004, we should have built a replacement for the Russian section of the ISS. A service and propulsion module that can be used to keep the ISS in orbit after detaching from the Russian segment.
OR, even better, go back to incrementalism in space by building inner solarsystem reusable, nuclear powered, electric propulsion space ships to go to Venus, Mars, the Moon and the asteroid belt in non-Hohmann orbit spaceflight.
If they really wanted to make waves they would expose space for the con job that it is. But they won't. Because this is all theatre to usher in the nwo.

Thats a nice space station you have there, vatnik, it would be a shame if a rogue US satellite "lost control" and slammed into it.
Nope, the Dragon capsule can already boost the orbit, but is software locked.

Well, we'll see about that, wont we. :)

>Nope, the Dragon capsule can already boost the orbit, but is software locked. There is much more to the Russian segment than just station keeping. Also, the crew dragon can only perform a bit of the station keeping tasks.

The last Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo vessel that arrived at the ISS on 21 February was the first to boast a capacity to “reboost” the outpost without Russian help.
On Friday, SpaceX boss Elon Musk tweeted his company’s logo in response to Rogozin’s rhetorical question about who would save the ISS from an uncontrolled de-orbit.
But Lueders stressed that such plans were a contingency measure only. “It would be very difficult for us to be operating on our own – ISS is an international partnership that was created … with joint dependencies,” she said.
“As a team, we are looking at where we may have operational flexibilities, but … it would be a sad day for international operations if we can’t continue to peacefully operate in space,” she said.
So.....what is the point of ISS? Like what do the people do all day in the space station up there?

Why do you use fancy words and pretend to know wtf you are talking about?
Juan Cruz
It is a "joint venture LARP" to convince NPCs that we are "allies" rather than enemies.
A pretty useless one.
Elijah Scott
I remember them making fun of some brilliant, probably autistic NASA engineer who wore an anime girl shirt while landing a probe onto a moving asteroid
This is what American and Western countries care about.
So they can take over glorified pictures of earth and to give the feeling we have progressed so much despite the fact we can't go to the fucking moon again for some unknown reason

You can always do the same experiment again.
James Reyes
Time to change it course and drop it to Russia. Kreml would be nice landing space.
Jace Stewart
Isn't amazing that the world somehow found a way to get along with the Soviet Union, but finds Russia intolerable?
Isaac James
Drop it on Sydney so we can finally confirm that the curren timeline is the clown tineline.
Carson White
>it's been over 50 years since the moon landing So we were able to go to the moon with half a century ago with technology that that makes people back then look like primates compared today....yet we cannot do the same nowadays for some reason. I gets harder each passing year to not think the moonlanding was fake or something strange going on surrounding it.

There's already a module that NASA built that can be used to replace the Russian propulsion systems from back in the 2000s that they never used. Would take a bit of time to get it working again but should be more than enough.
Camden Parker
They study the effects of dialation in zero gravity. NASA is full of diversity hires and couldnt build a model rocket today.
Jason Kelly
>a g*rm you have some nerve coming here talking about Russia and the 90s you should of never invented the Green New Deal
Oliver Fisher
Not a single penny should be wasted on any of this bullshit.
Kayden James
that's right. Instead we should throw even more money down the bottomless hole that is nigger gibs. So much better spent on ungrateful near humans so they can keep on robbing and raping
