A Coming Thing!!!

Not to get political, but as someone who loves science as much as I do, and who has "Trip to the Moon" tattooed on my shoulder, recent decisions regarding NASA have left me rather despondent. But check this out! It seems the Air Force is working on something of their own, assuming the project doesn't get gutted.



They've launched an unmanned spaceship, which can land itself, and may be the beginning of the next generation to replace the shuttles. Our astronauts should not have to hitch a ride on Russian and Chinese rockets, dammit! This is a very cool machine - now if only it or its descendants were allowed to take us back to moon, and on to Mars!
