Fill 'er up...in space?

The panel reviewing NASA's long-range plans is giving a new boost to the old idea of setting up orbital fueling stations for spaceflight. If the space agency and the White House go down that route, it would mark a dramatic change in direction for future journeys beyond Earth orbit.

This could be a good idea for getting to mars they should have thought about this a long time ago.

THANKYOU

Why wasn't this done years ago instead of that worthless scrap they call the space station.
Makes a lot more since i hope they do it and not just talk about it.
What good is the space station anyway its just a money pit total wast.

THANKYOU
