Reactions to NASA’s Fiscal Year 2011 proposed budget

This was an action packed press conference with programs getting slashed left and right. We show my reaction to some key points in the speech as well as the general reaction of Spacevidcasters around the world.

What do you think of this new proposed path for NASA? Good? Bad? Something else completely? Join us live this Friday at 0200 UTC to chat in person right here on Spacevidcast.com!

    i agree that ineffective teachers should be encouraged to find another career path. but what exactly is a good metric for deciding how good a teacher is?

  3. snoopyloopy says:

    yea i’m well aware that gps is a usaf technology that they decided we can use. and yea, we really need these details on the vandenberg shuttle launches bc it was originally supposed to be a second launch site and was built and tested accordingly, but a launch never actually happened. and the shuttle isn’t even built for operation at the orbits spy sats are in, so launching them on the shuttle makes no sense at all.

    “I really wonder about people who are completely in a dream world. Totally. They must wish that things were like magic. must be true.”
    Yeah, I agree. There are apparently some people who think that there is some magical pixie dust that NASA has that they sprinkle over their launch vehicles that allows only them to do safe manned spaceflight. :)

    BTW, dks, if I’m the one you think is talking about a “magical reusable spaceship” you understand even less than I thought. My point was lowering costs with larger economies of scale through higher flight rate NOT via reusability. Though SpaceX is attempting to gradually add reusability to F9 through a gradual fly and test development. If they succeed at that, then they will lower costs even further.
