Hi everyone, I wanted to share my opinion
Hi everyone, I wanted to share my opinion. I don’t believe the answer to nasa’s problem is to give them more money (sorry nasa guys), that could solve the problem but I believe that we can solve this problem without throwing hundreds of millions of dollars more at nasa. (BTW, I also believe that nasa’s budget is already more then double any other countries space departments budget, correct me if I am wrong.) I believe what nasa should do is help private American companies such as Burt Rutan’s Scaled Composites, who already demonstrated their ability to put a person into low earth orbit. Another private company that looks promising is SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk. Although they have had three failed launch attempts I believe nasa should help these two promising companies with engineering problems that they are having, after all no one knows this stuff better than nasa. Nasa would then be able to use these companies to bring astronauts to the ISS during the gap between the Shuttle and Orion. I believe that can save America money and not have to rely on Russian Soyuz as well as pay the Russian’s millions of dollars while they wage war on our allies. Anyway, thanks for reading.. please let me know your thoughts.
