[NASA Watch] "Moon = Stupid": Its The Same Tired Rhetoric From Bob Zubrin ...: Back in 1969, had NASA under Thomas Paine and the Space Task Group under Spiro T Agnew focused on developing that infrastructure with launching several orbiting manned space stations, developing fuel depots, and establishing a more permanent manned Moon base along with a more modest, acceptable budget, the US could already have been to Mars today. Instead, they chose to throw all their weight and political capital behind a Mars mission which got a rather frosty reception in Congress.

[Comments for Centauri Dreams] Alpha Centauri Hunt Intensifies: If Earth-sized planets are found around Alpha Centauri, it makes more sense to build a great big humoungus telescope in space to directly image those planets than it would be to send a probe there. A reflector, perhaps around 1 kilometer is diameter, might be big enough to image such planets.

[The Solar DIY Blog] SSP (Space Solar Power) Analysis | The Solar DIY Blog: NASA can carry out robotic exploration of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Sun, Pluto, Comets, have 4 orbiting observatories, loft humans into orbit aboard aging space shuttles, build a space station, develop aeronautics, all for $0.15 a day per tax payer.

[The Gaea News] Soon, virtual book of all life on Earth: WASHINGTON - In a new study, a group of international scientists took the help of a lunar eclipse to take a snapshot of earth's chemical fingerprint, which could help to identify planets most similar to earth where life may be thriving. The team used some of the world's largest optical and infrared telescopes located at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory in La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain) to observe light reflected from the moon toward the earth during a lunar eclipse on August 16, 2008.

[NASA Watch] Dennis Wingo - Why Space? Why Now? | NASA Watch: We desperately need more data on this human adaption issue before making grandiose plans for the Moon, Mars and beyond. And the one thing we really need to do in support of acquiring this data is for the International Space Station (ISS) to have its variable gee centrifuge module put back on as a must-have payload so we can determine how much gee loading on a long term basis is really needed to allow humans to survive and thrive away from Earth.

[Space News] Space News: Water On Mars Is Much, Much Less Than Water On Earth: The excited stories this week are politically motivated: the Mars fanatics running NASA are alarmed at both the drop-off in interest in that planet and the recent questions in Congress concerning the possiblity we will be destroyed by asteroids and therefore better pay attention to these darn things, has alarmed them enough to make a big thing about this story.

We have no right to abuse them."

[Bad Astronomy Blog] Asteroid to miss Earth January 29 | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine: One thing I find interesting about the media is how they sometimes really work to keep things technically and scientifically accurate and at others don’t seem to at all. For example a poll of the electorate will have in the small print a degree of confidence or a disclaimer if it is an informal nonscientific poll, yet they’ll print a daily astrology column with no disclaimer whatsoever.

[Universe Today] Aldrin: Mars Pioneers Should Not Return to Earth | Universe Today: I was always bothered by the fact that if something went wrong on Apollo during the landing part of the mission, the two astronauts on the lunar surface were doomed. At the very least they should have designed the LM to sustain the explorers until another mission could arrive for rescue.

It'd be a lot cheaper and less daunting to send both robotic and manned missions to the moon to set up such a base.
