Honestly, I wish people would just wake up and realize that going to Mars is a dream, a fun dream, but totally pointless and a waste of time and money.

Ahh yes. The RS-25. Designed to fly multiple missions with the space shuttle will now be dumped in the ocean after a single use.

Going to mars on chemical rockets is stupid. We will not go to mars with this. We might loft heavy stuff into orbit. Just like we won’t go to mares in the Orion capsule. Because a year in a…

To be honest, automatically assuming he is guilty and that there is no chance the female is doing any thing wrong is just as ass backward closed minded thinking as those that automatically blame her.
