      The Military Industrial Complex would not allow the American People to spend their Tax Money on foolish Scientific Projects that could Educate and Advance the Human Race (there is no Money in it for them). The only reason they allowed the Apollo Moon Mission was to Develop the Heavy Lift Saturn 5 Booster Technology to lift Hydrogen Bombs into orbit. You don't actually think they did it as a Friendly Race to the Moon did you? The Russians had a Heavy Lift Booster ( R-7 Semyorka "ICBM" Intercontinental Ballistic Missile), America needed a bigger one and they got it (the Saturn 5)!

      Yes. It didn't seem there was a constituency for it in America on the Right or the Left. The Right wing needed to keep the Commies at bay, and we didn't need any of that peacenik "we came for all mankind" stuff. And of course the Lefties are so sure that any money that doesn't go into the space program will just SURELY go to fighting poverty and injustice! (Spoiler..... FAT CHANCE. So you might as well spend it on space.)
      I get so irritated by those people that say that money spent on space is "wasted," as they browse UA-cam videos on their tiny computer phones and navigate by GPS.

    In 1973 I bought a plastic model Nerva engine -- with what the model maker called the "Pilgrim Observer" spaceship to go to and from Mars. I glued the thing together, including an artificial gravity module, a hydroponic garden module to produce oxygen, and a module with nuclear reactors to produce electricity.
    But this was considerably less expensive than the actual Nerva-powered ship that Nixon declined to fund.

    The main issue with sending humans to Mars is radiation exposure. The Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere provide *a* *lot* of protection that humans frankly need. The best solution we've found is to bury Mars bases and spend as little time as possible on the surface and in transit. NASA is currently designing a nuclear rocket that they'll test in the next few years - because chemical rockets just aren't gonna be good enough.

    I also consider the technology at the time of space exploration. Materials and resources for developing Space Exploration were so rudimentary; electronics, raw metals, plastics, nutrition, water reclamation. It took another 20 years to perfect those things before more modern rocketry could sustain itself. We are now the benefactors of all this. I'm glad we are giving it another go now.

    I for one am happy for the operational pause in human space exploration. NASA needed to let technology catch up with their ambitions. That fact that we didn't have any fatalities in space during the Apollo missions was a stroke of good luck. Operating on the very edge of our capabilities is extremely dangerous. With a few near misses to showcase how close to the edge we were running things back then.

    Starship is snub-nosed, has two flaps very close to the nose, bigger flaps towards the bottom and has heat shielding tiles on over half of it.
    Other than being made of metal and a cylinder with the “pointy end up and the flamey end down” (Everyday Astronaut) there are no significant similarities between Starship and anything shown that was colored by von Braun.
    Not to be too picky but there’s no way those ships look like each other.

    The reuseable glider = spaceshuttle + spacestation was proposed as the starting point for a much bigger moonlanding. This way, a thing learned through the V2, the launching costs would sink dramatically. Instead, earth-direct-to-moon, the less intelligent way had to be done. Exactly that doomed the US-spaceprogram right after achieving the first set goal. The shuttle would have needed the saturn rocket anyway to get off the ground.

The whole POINT of the US's moon-landing program was to BEAT the Soviet Union to the goal of landing a man on the Moon. Do you understand? Science, while performed, especially on later Apollo missions, was SECONDARY to the PRIMARY geopolitical motivation of beating the commies to the Moon. Like it or not, that is the truth.

    You could generate power with each launch.
    Build tunnel straight down line boiler tubing layer with high heat refrac. Build a tunnel horizontal to tee into launch pad. It will contain the force and divert explosion to where ever you decide to vent. Also allow the rocket engines to all be brought up to power without cooking launch pad. You could lower pad to ground. It will pull enormous vacuum at inlet and needs vent tunnels that damper the effects. You can use boiler tubing down the tunnels to convert heat into usable energy and save wear and tear to launch site. You plan to make multiple launch per hours lot of money being wasted.
    You would be able to run all engines at idle up to test launch without launching.
    When I saw the damage to concrete on pad it has bothered me every since. I have done concrete demolition where we cut out bad spots on bridges. We used 15k psi @ 50 per minute. Stripping concrete leaves rebar. Had rotary head and thick metal blast shield.
    Also we use pressure washer with 300hp 609hp diesel motor
    Vacuum truck with 300hp would be ahead of time to have them with electric motor chemical plants are strict on emissions first to build would be ahead of everyone.

    Kind of a weak ending, and by ending on such a passive cliff hanger, you make it sound like Nixon killed the program. It was more accurate to say that the focus on a reusable space launch system seemed to make so much more sense and was so better suited to expanding our orbital infrastructure that it was much more logical to focus on that, because it would give us the flexibility to do other things later.
    Of course, the Shuttle turned out to be nowhere near what it was promised to be. But hindsight is 20/20.

    Big problem is that people back then didn't full know what a year in space would do to the human body. Or even understand what 1/3 of Earths gravity would do over years on the Martian surface. Now? After decades of experiments in space (like Scott Kelly's year in space), we understand far more than we ever could back then. I think with Starship inevitably going to be a success and Artemis 2 planned in two years. It's highly likely we could have the first human on Mars in the 2030's. Granted I bet the mission will take 4-5 years planning. So I'd bet 2035.

      All indicators are that: Years of exposure to Mars's .38 gravity will be a very bad thing and seriously detrimental to human physiology. Scott Kelly is fucked up to this day, and freely admits it! So too is Russian cosmonaut Polyakov who spent even more time in space than Kelly. Don't count on "starship" (liquid-fueled, chemical rocket), or SpaceX, to solve these problems of microgravity or partial-gravity,

    The public appetite for for space travel faded because of the "been there, done that" factor for the moon - there was still, I think appetite for more deep space exploration. I remember as a kid (I was 8 when Neil Armstrong made his "one small step") reading the NASA plans for future space missions and being enthralled. Brooke Bond Tea in the UK used to include little picture cards in their packets of tea - I bullied my mum into buying their tea and collected them in a little book, "Race Into Space". The art was incredible. I've spent the rest of my life regretting the ending of the manned space programme and that I wasn't going to see men on Mars, or any of the other great stuff predicted.
    And I can't help reflecting on what America (and the world) would be like today if the funding had continued - I read somewhere that the bulk of the money spent on the Apollo programme stayed in America so all those space engineers on good salaries were adding to consumption and paying taxes etc, and the technological advances were astounding. NASA made science and engineering cool - generations of bright kids could have been encouraged to follow careers in those fields if the jobs were there. And I think that would have changed the culture of the country for the better - the more I travel America today the more frequently it seems closed minded, pessimistic and provincial in attitude - possibly the social changes would have been even cooler than the scientific ones.

      The biggest driving force behind Elon Musk's decision to get to Mars is that he believes that mankind is going to be extinct on Earth and hopes to prevent it, and be seen as mankind's savior.
      Sorry to dash his dreams, but we already have one! And we don't need to go to Mars to live, either.
      However, regardless of his faithless reasoning, I like the science behind the missions and designs of what I've seen thus far. I'm just not sure that it can work seeing as how Mars has no Van Allen belts like Earth does, so there's no protection from radiation, and there are a number of other hurdles that need to be overcome. But you can't overcome them if you don't try.

      @@hotflashfoto Elon is a businessman, a salesman, he didn't become a billionaire without the ability to attract investment. He's aware America won the space race to the moon, he knows the American people want to win the space race to Mars, he's feeding that dream, and in doing so, has fanboys looking to him as some type of god. Has the American people looking him as their only chance of beating China, Russia, India, etc, to put the first man on Mars. With his strategy of pandering to that desire, all the investment funds he needs become available for projects like Starship, which I'm convinced will simply pick up from where the space shuttle finished and have very little to do with getting to Mars. If the human race is smart enough to colonize Mars, then it's definitely smart enough to avoid extinction on this planet. The extinction thing is the businessman's age old strategy of adding urgency and importance to the deal, for what he's trying to achieve, investment funding, belief in its importance with regards to him saving the human race from extinction. Elon the hero. Nothing wrong with setting Mars a his ultimate goal though, similar to over engineering, if Starship performs as intended through testing, no lives lost but only gets to the moon, it can be considered to have been a success.
