and solar power is't very useful if you are going outward of the sun as the solar rays don't come there so much.

They come there plenty, all you need is a few solar panels and maybe a small genrator, a nuclear power source would be way to big and complex

nuclear generator would be big all right. but you can also build bigger ship. why send a three man team to explore Mars? they can go there and come back. what's the point of that? build bigger ship, send more men to explore and get more and better knowledge.

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #208 on:** October 07, 2007, 01:50:04 PM »

Yeah, but we're talking trillions, too much that the government wants to spend

sarcronis · « **Reply #215 on:** October 08, 2007, 05:30:01 PM »

NASA is planning to use a moon base for a possible mission to mars. China just wants to prove that they can get there.

I was refferring to the ISS, all the trouble they're having with exploding shuttles, smoking vents, and failing computers

Slornie · « **Reply #217 on:** October 08, 2007, 07:12:53 PM »

Which is why they want to replace it with the new launch vehicle they're developing (i forget what its called)..

Scarecrow63 · « **Reply #218 on:** October 08, 2007, 07:13:45 PM »

that still doesnt help the smoking and computers failing
