i propose a new feature on the next generation of space suits, a camera in the glove/gauntlet that allows for space selfies

with some trending hashtags and some good vines i really think we could get NASA back to full funding

I feel like I should be accustomed to seeing images like this by now since we've been at it for so long and have all been seeing these kinds of pictures since we were kids. But for whatever reason, I'm still in just as much awe today as I was the first time I saw pictures of Earth from space like this. It really never gets old, and always makes me a little excited to think about whatever the next step for humanity may be.

because going to space is loving expensive and we are not going to be able to go beyond our own moon, much less mars, on currently existing techology

in all honesty because it became a thing where we won, planted our flag and it was kinda done. publicly known tech cant get us any farther than we've gone so all we can do now is launch probes and see what we can see

any cutting edge stuff has been folded under the military's budget now so if we see it, it will be in like 20 years when we learn we discovered lightspeed in like 1999 and we subjugated an alien planet and took their oil before the gov't told us about it

not all of us but we could pretty readily send people to mars using current technology, or even 30 years ago technology. ability was never the issue it's more, what's the point. you can't live there, you seriously wouldn't want to even if you could, there's nothing you can do there that robots couldn't do better. in another decade prices will have dropped enough and plutocrats will be rich enough that some dude who hired the guys who invented the next big social media app will probably commission a vanity mission just to say that he did it, and that's how the first and last human will set foot on Mars.

that was so cool, the latest mars landing. "its heavy, lets have a ridiculously complex system of thrusters to slow down the descent" and it worked
