Scientists busy engineering the future with nanotech

Scientists busy engineering the future with nanotech



Bernie has talked in depth about how much the spacecraft weights is essential in figuring out if there is some way to get our astronauts to Mars. As you can see in this article, it takes $10,000 for one pound to get into space orbit-for three and a half pounds you could go to UPS for a year; it goes further though to get a spacecraft to Mars or the moon will take $100,000, so most of us could get a college degree from UPS with that. It is amazing what our government is willing to pay for with much of our tax money, but I think it is interesting to look at the costs for actually pursing this idea!
