NASA - shut it down, mostly. Space is Waste. [View All]

Prominent string theory physics prof, Michio Kaku, said on Art Bell that most scientists agree that robotic space probes can do all space experiments.. including the ISS ones... for a tenth of the cost of having humans up there doing them.

A waste of money and human life.

Shut down most of NASA by having robotic probes go up, not people.

On the other hand, a new and truly useful NASA job could be to roll back global warming.

google "Orbiting Sunshade" for the CBS news page... with sseveral ways to cool the planet. Which would , if done with gusto, end all hurricanes and most tornadoes.. giving us a constant temperature of a May day across the summer months.

Methods which can be full force in summer, and turned edgewise in winter, would do that.

Every Shuttle flight is half a billion dollars thrown down the tubes. That is why film of a Shuttle launch is disgusting.

Robotics are cheaper because one does not have to launch breathable oxygen, or water, or food, or toilets, for robitics. Nor the elaborate triple safety measures. Robots burned up? Well, that's no tragedy.
===No training time either, nor pensions.
