Comment by Iosephus Lvcs Gonzalez on April 19, 2012 at 2:09am Dallas, as a non USAmerican, I don't have an opinion about the States not sending people into space. But I can give two quick facts about that matter:
1) Insiders are well aware that there are more players in their game now http://knovelblogs.com/2010/04/08/craig-the-rocket-scientist-and-th...
2) I looks like NASA it outsourcing manufacture to private companies. SpaceX is undertaking a thriving project to build spacecrafts that will send NASA astronauts to the international space station http://www.spacex.com/updates.php
Podcast: Space Chronicles; Neil DeGrasse Tyson
NASA has been sending Americans into space for half a century. But now that proud chapter is history. With the end of the space shuttle program, we have no way of launching astronauts in an American spacecraft from American soil for at least a decade, and maybe longer.
Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson has big problems with that and he writes about them in his new book Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier. Neil DeGrasse Tyson is the director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York City and he recently spoke to Living on Earth’s Steve Curwood about space exploration, science education, and the role of discovery.
NOVA: Runaway Univese. Can't embed, but you can watch it all online. Discusses how we discovered the Universe is both expanding and accelerating. Pretty basic stuff, but still nice to watch.
