[QUOTE="Horwath, post: 8205781, member: 6801299"] I agree 99% with you, except the bolded part. NASA didn't suffer "The burning of library of Alexandria". They KNOW how to make Saturn V. And they can make it if needed in one year or less. But, simply there is not interest as there is no money for it. As I stated in my last post, in mid-60s, NASA budget was near 4,5% of federal budget and they could literally burn money. Now they have 9X less and the have to weight in every mission for possible benefit and linked costs. If NASA had 5% federal budget from 60s till today, we would have people on Mars already. Maybe they would have died or have a much larger risk from cancer because of radiation, but we would have seen that leap in exploration. Damn the Soviets and their failed Luna project. If they landed on Moon in 1970, space race would have continued towards Mars. EDIT: and don't get me started on James Webb Space Telescope, which now after 10 years of delaying, finally has finalized most final of final launch date of 31.10.2021. Until it gets delayed again for next final launch day... [/QUOTE]
