No. The Saturn V was much more powerful.

Then just build bigger rockets. Don't make space flight be trapped by small launchers by accepting the piss poor state of the space industry. Go big, or go home.

>Fuck man, am I actually starting to feel hopeful about manned spaceflight?
Sounds like it, and you should. Don't let pessimists take the sky away from you.

Is there a way to be in IT, code monkey for the nasa or other, and end up astronaut ?

All i got is a pic, sorry anon.

I really want to call attention to NASA's budget and I want to do it outside of the internet and at the local level. I'm just a college student but I have a lot of ambition and hope for our future and any suggestions would really be appreciated. I'm thinking about working with my local IMAX theater and aquarium that both have educational outreach programs for local citizens. my plan is to display simple visual aids that show just how tiny NASA's budget is in comparison to the federal budget. I feel like a large percentage of the American population is totally ignorant of just how tiny it is and would find it fairly shocking. if anything I don't want NASA to be first in line when spending cuts are made.

>mfw the guy who landed on the moon was called armstrong and also had strong arms

As close as it gets.

Space thread?
