I would have applied myself, but I don't want to waste 38$ for something I will probably not win anyway.

[ColorHost-Kevin]

I would love to... As long as well, I do not die.

I don't want to go Mars, I need to waste 38$ for something I will probably not win o.o, but if I can get this opportunity I will be proud to be the first samper to go in Mars.

2022 eh? looks like NASA is making extra cash out of this... I'd love to even if I never made it back but, false hope... too beautiful for me to be true.

Mars? Naaaah. Maybe Uranus, if you know what I mean.

You've been waiting 5 months for your first post and that is the best you could come up with?

/sigh Obama basically shut down NASA after taking away their "government funding." So.. NASA doesn't do missions like that anymore and likely never will. Thanks Obama, thanks for ruining the one thing the U.S still had that was REALLY awesome. Fuck you too!

Nevertheless.. I don't think you'll find ME going to Mars for the rest of my existence; that seems a bit far fetch to me.

Really? never heard about that... when did they took that funding away? I heard curiosity rover was funded by government aswell, not sure if that's true.

It was one of the first things Obama did when he got into office. So... like 5 years ago. I believe the cut in their budget was probably put off for a few years or something, so they probably used what they could while they could. I know they did one last shuttle launch not too long ago. I can't remember if they have another one or not though- I don't think so. As for the rover, I'm sure it is; but they probably can't repair it themselves anymore.

They retired the space shuttles. They are working on other projects now. IMO NASA is seriously underfunded, but they utilize their budget really efficiently, it's actually very impressive how much they are able to pull off while their budget constantly gets butchered by politicians which then put the money to other stupid things like Obamaphones...

[Coltmaster]

It obviously got cut for a reason though...

Let's not turn THIS thread into a political argument.
