Well i'm sure they not going to make any new Vehicles for them. I heard that after 2012 they not flying any more space missions. So in my book why do they want new vehicles to fly outside of low Orbit?

Maybe they not flying any more missions after 2012 because they will reveal their hidden anti gravity aircraft that can exit our world like a small plane takes off and flies around.

It really makes me think that something is going on, regardless of the current climate there should be plans to develop new craft, as the previous poster says maybe the anti grav ships will be rolled out, along with disclosure and a big apology from the Fed Reserve

Wow! Talk about backtracking. . ? I thought the next generation of space vehicles, I think they were called Orion, were already well into the testing phase considering NASA were talking about going back (yes, BACK ) to the moon around 2018. A mere couple of weeks ago America, Russia, India and China were racing to get back to the moon first and suddenly America drops out! I smell something fishy and I'm not talking about the contents of Baldricks apple crumble..!

Word must of come down from the top and that word must be, well America is broke start building escape pods.

The only thing fishy about this article is the fact that it's saying America is scroomed.

It's funny how they still have all this cash to do useless things like crashing crap into the moon to see if there's any water in the plume.

NASA need to be disbanded and replaced by a serious Space Agency.

maybe they should design the tecnology , then sell it to China , India and so on - this way NASA cound finance themself while progressing the technology.

you mean thsi oen they say that dosent excist and still there is real life photo of it ?? i do hope its a real pic i once found and did keep it ....its up to you what ya think

So 40 years later, they want to do exploratory missions and crash rockets into the moon

Why can't they dust off the old lunar modules which had the same computing power as a modern day pocket calculator, bring Buzz out of retirement and get the astro-nots to dig the moon with a shovel.

Oh yeah, that's right...they never went there in the first place.

Yeah, it's all rather odd and counter logical... but as unquestioning automatons, were not meant to be asking such taboo questions. Shame on you!

I haven't quite being assimilated yet IRM

I just question the fact this was all meant to have been done 40 years ago, before i was born

The BBC are doing an HD moon programme soon, it should make Zorgon weak at the knees to see their studio footage, *cough* i mean lunar landings.

This is a good development. Now begin use of Area 51 anti-gravity/hyperspace 'flying saucers' for space exploration - too the Moon, and to other star systems.

here here! totally agree with that.

i'm 25. for the last 15 years, the only really interesting stuff they've done with aaaaallll that money is send some rovers to mars and some satellites into the solar system to photo other planets. oh...and hubble( i love hubble's pictures).And to me, that's really disappointing.

spaceship one, that won the xprize cost somewhere over 20 million dollars to build. from scratch. the annual budget of nasa is around 17 billion dollars.
NASA, the publicly owned(through our tax dollars) institute , full of highly educated people of multitudinous backgrounds, can't design and implement a safe cheap alternative to the shuttles???

sure we've learned some interesting stuff from the ISS...but as I recall, the only times we've really lept in tech are when we've pushed the envelope( like going to the moon, manned that is). Then we just kinda skidded to a halt. and now this whole not sure they can make it back to the moon business?

I always wanted to explore space, be a solar frontiersman. But about five years ago i thought "what's the point, doesn't even seem like they like exploring anymore". and with news like this, sure doesn't contradict that. maybe if they're lucky my great grandkids will be able to take part, or watch mars manned exploration. cause it sure isn't happening anytime soon. which is ultimately very very sad.

i hope we go back, it would be very exciting, not to mention we could (possibly) put to rest the controversy over whether or not we actually went there in the first place.

if NASA doesn't go, i at least hope other country's get there, i am not so patriotic that i couldn't be happy for another country reaching for the stars.
