New Horizons Web Site

....NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is now almost seven years into its 9�-year journey across the solar system to explore Pluto and its system of moons. Just over two years from now, in January 2015, New Horizons will begin encounter operations, which will culminate in a close approach to Pluto on July 14, 2015, and the first-ever exploration of a planet in the Kuiper Belt.

As New Horizons has traveled through space, its science team has become increasingly aware of the possibility that dangerous debris may be orbiting in the Pluto system, putting the spacecraft and its exploration objectives into harm’s way.....

AWESOME!! Longest Grape launch in history !!

That's awesome!!

That's awesome!!

YES!! I am going to amazed if they are able to "plot out" the kieper belt in 1.5 years atleast enough to navigate it and make adjustments INSIDE that 1.5 year stretch, and all of these Telescopes all across the world have joined forces to "Figure it out" basically, Thats truely an epic mobile force. I think "Armageddon" type impending doom is the least type of issue we could face, ignoring the "statistical" side of it which then makes it even more laughable

I agree! Armageddon is probably not going to happen anytime soon, and I doubt it would have to do with telescopes.

I totally agree.. I think space exploration is a fabulous thing, but why spend BILLIONS on this crap if we cant even take care of our own? Pretty sickning, but then again, it's life and the shit we deal with. Thanks U.S. Government for fucking the American people and feeding the odd balled life forms of space. We will find the homeless a home somewhere up there eventually. Maybe even a big ball of slush and send it back to earth to be fed to homeless souls.

Why we need NASA? Because our clock is ticking. It might not be on my watch but,would you want to to leave your kids - kids - kids - kids etc with a zero-awareness of an impending Extinction Level Event?


Future of your Race is quite high on the important list IMO.
how about this one ;

Follow-ups
The Moon Treaty of 1979 was meant to be the follow-up to the Outer Space Treaty, but failed to be ratified by any space-faring nation.[citation needed]
Both the Space Preservation Treaty and the Space Preservation Act of 2001[7][clarification needed] are expansions on the ban of weapons in space, being a ban on all weapons, instead of only nuclear and WMDs, but both so far have had minimal success.[8][9] The Treaty would also establish a peacekeeping agency to monitor outer space and enforce the ban on space-based weapons.[citation needed] Its U.S. national companion, the Space Preservation Act, was introduced for the fourth time to the United States House of Representatives by Congressman Dennis Kucinich on May 18, 2005.[dated info] The Institute for Security and Cooperation in Space, co-founded by Dr. Carol Rosin and Alfred Webre, initiated the Treaty.[when?] It has received support from over 274 NGOs and from various Canadian politicians, including Hon. Paul Hellyer, a former Minister of Defense, and Svend Robinson, a former Member of Parliament.The Space Show hosted by: Dr. David Livingston

We shouldn't abandon space exploration.

I can think of better area's to slash spending *cough DEA*

i think we should have a program, however lets feed the starving before hand!

[Mindf!3ldzX]

Children starving in Americant? Whaaaaaat.

Checklist time...........

1]Children are not "allowed to not go to school" ,as in, parents who don't send their kids to a public (or alternative) school will go to jail. End of disucussion there....

2]Children are fed twice a DAY at Schools in the USA if not 3 times in Pre-K through K.

3]Kids not getting enough food in school is probably her fault .

Im never going to say end space exploration. Im saying get the fucking government out of it and privatize it. Best way to go with space exploration. If the government wants information on what the private companies are doing, they can pay the private companies for their time and effort. But it would reduce the cost substantially over the next few decades of government spending. Spend money here at home (U.S.A.) and fuck other countries. Our money does not belong in countries such as, europe, asia, austrailia, south america and so forth. Those countries can depend and defend for themselves. That's just my opinion. We can all be friends, but when it comes to money, get your own
