Nasa unveils its new Space Launch System heavy lift rocket. Anybody else completely ignoring this because funding will be cut anyway?

That's the world we live in, there's no money for science, only for military.

The aeronautical side of NASA? They've done a shitton.

Yes, because this thread is about the aeronautical side of NASA. Maybe NASA should just stick with aeronautics and leave space exploration to the military and private sector.

>>3738245
They should. We'd be a lot further along in terms of space infrastructure if the driving forces behind the space race had been practical rather than ideological.

SLS is really Senate Launch System. its a system designed by politicians to keep the money flowing to their states and keep the companies who made the shuttle so expensive on the payroll. its ridiculous and a lame attempt to revive the management disaster that was constellation. i hope it get cut but given that it was designed by the bureaucrats in charge it will probably just suck the life out of nasa like constellation would have. it will never be ready in 6 years.

and correction nasa's budget increased, only constellation was cancelled after multiple failures. JWST may be cancelled by the republitards, and nasa doesn't do flagship (interesting) missions any more. so no more massive space observatories, probes and such.

Also, nasa.gov has its own part of the site dedicated to showing what technologies it's developed.

Space travel gets nixed because it runs counter to the whole permanent mass serfdom/ global oligarchy scheme we've got going on.

This in a nutshell. NASA is always trying to go further than they have money for, and ultimately their projects get cancelled. Their fault for not knowing their limitations.

>> No.3738312

Psht. Not anything new. I went to NASA in Houston and they were telling us about this.

That was also about 4 years ago, if I may add.

well in those 4 years the ares V (the rocket you're confusing it with) was cancelled and then this year this shockingly similar mess was created by politicians.

Like what? What science is more important?

Because I guarantee if it is really that important, it already has major funding and hundreds of people working on it.
