i was trying hard and the only number i can find is it cost 6.7 billion dollars per space shuttle, that was in 1971 though, so significantly more, but do keep in mind that they've lasted almost 40 years.
Also, each mission costs somewhere between $450 million and $1.5 billion dollars, it's expensive shit. |

| And another shuttle launch is getting ready to light up the night sky - this Wednesday. (Did anyone else see the rocket launch last weekend?) http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/launch/index.htmlAt 9:20 p.m. Wednesday, March 11th the space shuttle Discovery lifts off from Cape Canaveral. The weather should be clear, the crew has arrived, and final preparations have begun for this mission. The STS-119 mission will deliver to the International Space Station the final set of solar arrays needed to complete the station's complement of electricity-generating solar panels, and through them support the station's expanded crew of six in 2009. "More crew means that we'll have to run more life support equipment, more crew support equipment – toilet facilities, water processing equipment and all of that stuff," said Kwatsi Alibaruho, the lead space station flight director for the mission. "We'll have to run more of all of that, so we need additional power."

Those were some very cool articles. I liked Neil Armstrong's speach that he gave. I also really like the line from the first article "However, I'm unapologetic in my belief that the primary reason we should go back to the Moon is because, as humans, it's what we do. We explore, we investigate and ultimately, we establish a foothold." because I agree so strongly with it.
I want to use that moon lander simulator! |

| According to Nasa, they have hope to find 150 inhabitable planets by 2013. fuck the what?

| That would be cool. I get how they determine the size of a planet, but how they determine whether it's inhabitable or not? That I'd like to learn. I'm tempted to e-mail my physics teacher about that. Also: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8163008.stmThe voice was really annoying, but it was interesting, and the images were awesome  _________________ | SirIan wrote: | What? What?

I read an article in popular science today talking about that actually. Did you know that NASA gets 200 times the funding that the ocean version of NASA(I can't think of what they're called off the top of my head) does. That's total bullshit. I think the ocean can provide more tangible results, however studies on the ocean are so underfunded that it's almost impossible to do anything with it. I don't want to see NASA's budget degraded, but it's ocean counterpart is in need of a severe boost. |

| They have instruments that tell them whether it's a Class M planet or not. Spock is good with those kinds of machines. But seriously, I don't know how they would decide. Most likely Oxygen supply is number one.

| Well, yeah, but how they determine the amount of oxygen and whatnot is what I don't get. _________________ | SirIan wrote: | What? What? Is this too much to handle?
