[QUOTE=Sobotnik;32576645]I bet that NASA will end up with a overly complex system for maintaining the base, whilst the Russian agency will have a simple cheap thing that remains in service for 50 years whilst the NASA base will suffer a failure after 30 months of service.[/QUOTE]
Because Russia in its current state could totally afford a moon base

Hence why it will be a simple cheap thing. They are using rockets that have been essentially the same for the past 50 years that are so cost effective that NASA is having to use them.
uuuuuuuuuu?

Private companies in america and NASA are designing/building better rockets than Russia, and building even a 'simple" base wouldn't be enough, it would have to have the smallest margine of error in its construction or it something really bad could happen.
I feel sad thinking that the humans most likely kill themselfs before we find out amazing things bout the universe.
By the actual time that we get this, we will have flying stealth bombing nuclear tanks and bullets as powerful as nuclear bombs. Which is a shame how this gets its funding cut and useless shit doesn't.
Ontopic: I hope their right about the date.

The problem with the Americans search to fix every single margin of error will lead to overly complex systems which increases the chances of failure if a single component breaks down. The Russian ones are so simple that its very difficult for that to happen.
As of this dead, 24 American astronauts have died in Space exploration, whilst 10 Soviet Cosmonauts have died.
Doesn't Nasa have a budget of like 3$ now-a-days?
I'm willing to bet that a private company gets there first.
If we could do it 40 years ago we can sure as hell do it easier now.
Well I'm guessing it's going to be a lot like having the ISS on the moon.
1 year before China's plan.

By the time 2019 comes around, the NASA budget will be so watered down they'll just land the ISS on the moon and call it a day.
I saw Eudoxia and I thought space.
I saw space and I thought holla holla get $
Moonbase Alpha is set in 2020 :v:
AEIOU
Wait, Orion? I thought that was the NASA project about launching space ships using many controlled explosions?
How will the do that with the whole 20 dollars of funding they get.
2019? I call bullshit. That is all.
[QUOTE=Medevilae;32594040]We've accomplished a lot more than they did, though- and our space station didn't catch fire/ have tainted oxygen.
Besides, now with the ISS the Roscosmos agency is taking safety as seriously as we do.[/QUOTE]
Not quite, the USSR sent the first satellite up, the first dog, the first human, they also managed to set up the first space stations, and sent the first unmanned expeditions to the moon.
The biggest achievement of Nasa in comparison is the Moon landings, but other than to show that they could do it there was little purpose served at all. After the first time up nobody really cared about all the other times that people have been to the moon minus the first.

Doesn't appear to be so.
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;32572276]They won't.
And I hate how they treat space travel like a moral booster.
No, space travel is the only way our race is ever going to survive thousands of more years, and instead they pretty much make a joke out of it.[/QUOTE]
As true as this is, I think people also understand that our generation can get by fine with the resources on Earth - there isn't a large enough demand to explore yet. It's not really our problem, maybe a few generations ahead will they finally be prompted to put more resources into space projects. It just sucks that we we won't be around to witness much progress.
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;32595972]Doesn't appear to be so.[/QUOTE]
Well, we did send the first animals in space. And putting a person on the moon isn't a small feat, especially for the 60's.
I'm honestly getting bored of the moon now. Can we please go to Mars NASA?

At the press conference last week, a press release from NASA's new representative 'GAY_WEED_69' only had a simple statement for the public "aeiou." Upon leaving the press conference, he also answered several questions citing the famous football announcer John Madden and the sport in which he announced for. He was seen hopping up and down while repeatedly dropping and picking up briefcases and tools outside of the NASA headquarters shortly afterwards. How NASA is going to explain their stance on this new representatives actions and statements have yet to be seen.[/quote]
