Space Exploration

Military building robot to recycle satellites?
 
Elon Musk's mission to Mars
 
Felix Baumgartner jumps
...jumps out of balloon from about 23 miles up. Atleast one implication of this event is to see eventually if astronauts can survive disaster in outer space.
 
 
 

It's good, but is it progress?
SpaceX is sending a rocket up to the ISS for a private company first. Now that two, (actually 3) companies are working together for a common goal, I just wonder if down the line the co.'s squabble about the small stuff like coupler sizes and such.
I just don't know if NASA stepped way back and now we are trying to catch up. Otherwise congratulaions to SpaceX. Keep truckin' it.

Oh, really, what have you been doing up there?
The government funded NASA has fizzled our tax dollars while private enterprise has used less money to save it and build their own machines. Meanwhile our taxpayer moolah has paid for a so far successful military space endeavour.

we won't try to survive off this planet until we have to, and then it will be too late

Pictures of Mars
yeah
