Nasa Is High As Fuck

NASA is currently considering a plan put together by the Keck Institute for Space Studies to literally drag a small asteroid into high lunar orbit. The plan, if implemented, would begin by sending a slow-moving, robotic craft to a target asteroid approximately seven meters wide. After making some final calculations, the craft would catch the asteroid in a 10 by 15 meter bag and return to a high lunar orbit. The Keck Institute believes this project could be completed relatively easily by the 2020s, and would cost approximately $2.6 billion, only slightly more than the Curiosity Mars rover project.

The fuck NASA?

I was under the impression NASA had shut down from lack of funds.

INB4 someone says, "Ain't nobody got time for that"

[Emma]

Ohh I get it! Because they shoot rockets ... high as - yes, brilliant!!

[ZJ]

If it means we'll know more about space travel, I'm all for it. I'd rather our government spend money on space travel than things like welfare for crack addicts.

[Provoke]

I thought they had to use seesaws because the budget cuts?

No, you God damn fine piece of ass. What I mean is these blokes are fucking smoking goddamn crack.

I'm not reading that. Is nasa pretty gay or something?

They're preparing to construct the tether for a space elevator, and they need an asteroid to keep the tension in it and provide lift due to the rotation of the planet.

How did you come up with this? We don't need an asteroid for that at all.

One of nasa's directors put out a book about 3 years ago, I have it somewhere around the house here

It describes how simple it would be to build if we could get multiple nations to pool their resources

We don't need an asteroid for that at all.

It's the best thing for the job, the tether needs a counterweight to keep it's tension

[HipnikDragomir]

That's a good thing, you twat. The more we know about space, the better.

Oh hey Shauna. You still work at Frys Electronics? And still vacate a lot? You never uploaded your pics from Australia.

[Viper50]

Took me a couple read through to fully understand what the hell they're talking about doing.

I'm fucking tired xD

It's a cool idea. Just hoping it doesn't backfire when they try to do that.

[mandog]

Give it 20 or 30 more years

NASA isn't making the space elevator you dog fucking idiot

I don't know what Frys Electronics is but I still work and I still vacation a lot. Photos are up on my FB

I believe it was Frys something food store. And you were a nutritionist. I dont have your FB, and I deleted you off of MSN.

You were unresponsive to my creepy, selfish commands.

"There are actually quite a few benefits to the Keck Institute's plan. The Obama administration has previously expressed interest in exploring near-Earth asteroids, but the required long-term mission would place teams well beyond the reach of any rescue. Bringing space rocks back home would provide all the scientific benefits of an asteroid mission without putting lives in immediate jeopardy. Having a handy orbiting asteroid could also have applications for scientists learning how to extract minerals and fuel, which might set the stage for future exploration missions to Mars and beyond. "

THAT'S IT! FUCK YOU GOVERNMENT! NO MORE TAXES FOR YOU TIL YOU GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!

Prove it

[PrincessLuna]

NASA need their budget increased so we can have more of these amazing projects taking place, and also so that they can occur sooner. It's a good project, as there is much research to be done about comets and asteroids.

[jhypsyshah]

last I heard, they were making the space elevator ribbon in Japan but that was before the tsunami/quakes, a while back.

There are supposedly alot of precious metals and such in some of these near earth asteroids, such as plat', which can be used for catalytic converters and life support systems, among other things. I never really hear much of refining these moonrocks though.

[Pink-Ninja]

This just shows you how primitive we are compared to what could be out there beyond our reach. I think it's a neat idea and I hope it proves meaningful as the more we know about the universe the better I say.

[Scintillating]

Then we can put all of the jerb stealing messicans on that asteroid. DEY TUK ARR JERBS!!!

Seriously, the money NASA receives from the government has always been notoriously low

It would great to see this happen and for NASA to receive more federal funding for paying for cool projects like this

[saqwert]

Yo what if we put fruit rollups on the moon so the surface would terraform into chewy fruit snaks?

[HighWay]

of course they are high as fuck they operate in space.

[Travis]

Yep...

Let's waste money on looking at space rocks instead of using that money to cure cancer.

Space exploration in my opinion, is useless when we don't have the technology to find planets with possible life on them. Some day, these kinds of things will be logical to do, but right now I'd rather see that funding go somewhere else.

Yo how high is space?
