Not to mention the impracticality of colonizing a planet 20 light years away...

Perhaps the existence of this planet will make scientists work harder on possible solutions for high-speed space travel. Now there's at least a place where we could want to go to.  |

Not that that's a bad decision, though. The moon doesn't deserve to be neglected, and it is much more practical.
Heck, you can't say it goes against "Trek" ideals of far-reaching stellar travel, either.
After all, the moon is heavily colonized in Star Trek...

Yeh but we cut funding to the hubal telisope and funding from alot of other worth olits thay should not have. I mean we have the international spase station we dont need to refulling stations that close to each other.
Well all so cut funding from sinding manned spase shuttals up wish is much more inportent to seeing how people can safly live in space for long times.

Well its cheaper than bilding a new one. The huble is still usefule it still can find new things.
Yes but if something works for what its need for way thow it away? The hubale has systoms that tell you when thares a problom and what it is and it has a serton amont of softwhare repar proticals.
Is that what the voses in yoe head told you? J/K

We are building a new one; the James Webb space telescope will be deployed in 2011.

Wasn't it Bush who talked about colonizing Mars until 2020? At least this was the last announcement (in which he also talked about going back to the Moon) of him I can remember. So how does it come they cut NASA's budget? I'm just asking. |

Still useful, but it's not like the US govt can just call in repairmen to fix every little problem. They have to launch an incredibly difficult and dangerous and expensive mission involving many spacewalks to fix it. Besides, space is a harsh place. Something can only operate up there for so long. |

I hate to bust ewms buble but he talking out of his A** 1:Huble: how do you know fixing its cheaper than building a new one? Gimme a link. Besides its not as if we are desperate for cash. I Think that building a new telescope and putting it in a rocket is cheaper(and safer) then sending astronauts up to fix the telescope. 2:about the new planet: Has any one ever heard of a Generation ship? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_shipthe speed of light IS ALMOST attainable. assuming we get close to it then it would only take 20 years In OUR TIME. Relativity would assure that anyone embarking on this voyage would be much less than 20 years older when they arrived http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity3:Palosy it a *************************************************************er |
