Obama Admin could have increased the budget and left NASA alone to do its course laid out by President Bush, but no, the Obama Admin instead decided on a completely different course of NEA, Mars Moon, Mars of which nothing has been accomplished, we never sent a crewed spacecraft to a NEA and all the planning and prep for that was a waste as NASA seems focused on a lunar return now or lunar space station at the very least.

Complete fucking waste the NEA focus was, NASA was off-track for decades I fucked hate what the new NASA Admin and the Obama Admin did for NASA then.

And now its back to SLS, when we could have had several Ares rockets already by this point.

The slowest rotating planet is Venus, which takes 243.01 days to turn around.

Newfag here, curious about space exploration. Why is NASA going back to old school rockets? Why not try and develop a conventional lift off space plane?

Also (/m/fag reporting in), when will stations like the ISS be supplanted by Lagrange point stations.

tl;dr why is space tech lagging in development? It seems like we're stuck in the 70s or 80s
