Mars, the Moon and the Space ProgramI happen to think this is awesome for humanity. Already it’s proven a HUGE interest across the world. There was something like 13TB of information uploaded from NASA when they released the first color 360 degree image. That speaks for it’s self.
I can’t wait until early this morning when the Rover Finally leaves it’s nest and explores the Mars surface. I also wish luck to the opportunity rover which will be touching down on the 24th.
Also other news is Bush wants to pump 1 Billion dollars a year into the NASA space program. This is a good step. After they finish the space station which is slated for 2010, they will retire the space shuttles at the same time. Also they want to have a presense on the moon which will pave the way for presense on Mars and other planets. This all is a good thing for Canada as Canadian Space Technology is second to none. We have provided a lot of stuff to NASA and we will continue to provide more technology and resources to NASA. For this I am excited.
