A rocket isn't much different from a projectile. It doesn't seem like that great of an accomplishment if you ask me. Now if you found a way to make that rocket run at the speed of light, that would be an accomplishment. But it wont get you to the next solar system anytime soon. The settlers used to call the pots and pans they traded with the indians advanced technology. Maybe they are right, we still use em today. Maybe it would be better for this world if we went back to horses. There may not be a choice in the matter if we keep this up.
So we got prettier houses, and better transporation. That doesn't change the fact that someone can break the paper door down and kill you at any moment. Ask ol Charlie and famliy. The only thing we are advanced at is mass producing shit.

The Russians are scratching their heads to this day wondering how the heck they got out in the exposed unprotected space with their space suits on. It's one thing to do it in Earth's orbit; it's another to do it on the moon without Earth's protective atmosphere. 250 degress fahrenheit might be a little bit discomforting.
And I wasn't talking about the actual missions. I was talking about murder.

Fried from enough radiation to pass thru six feet of solid lead my friend. How do you see thru a visor that's 100% reflective?

You know, I did make a mistake. They are going back, to 'find' water. There will be many expolsions on the moons surface soon. Guess what that means? Good bye non existant rover. I bet they wont be showing any photos of the men out in their space suits. If they did, it would prolly be done in a studio like last time.
But then again, I'm just a bum that's prolly going to end up on the street or even dead soon. I have to admit, there are prolly flaws in my arguments. I would rather spend an hour checking my grammer then research it. I have more important things to do then worry about this. Like pick my nose and scratch my hairy ass.
