Space is Cool

On the 50^th anniversary of the moon landing, why space is still cool:

  Weightlessness.

  International Space Station uses international technologies – Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States.

  Space walks.

  Every space program experienced failures.

  “Space is hard.” – Scott Kelly after a SpaceX rocket failure.

  Traveling in a Vacuum.

  Lives were lost. Hard lessons learned.

  Moon dust is dangerous, blocks vision, sticks to & degrades materials, grinds up machinery and people may be allergic.

Lunar Rovers.

 China, India, Israel, Luxembourg, New Zealand, and Singapore are exploring space & the moon.

  Slide rules sent astronauts to the moon.

  On budget and on schedule.

  “No one born after 1935 has stepped on the moon.” – Burt Rutan, Aerospace & Spaceship designer

  It will always involve risks.

There is so much we don’t know. Men and Women need to return.
