USSR fell so no more pissing contest

Globalism

They started hiding all the good shit. The Earth idolaters decided a depopulation agenda was necessary and everyone needed to be poor.

>Wright Brothers invented the plane

...

Kek confirms

Affirmative action

Brazilians always get triggered by this

The same thing that happens when you eliminate competition from anything: it becomes stagnant.

We do have reusable rockets now though, which is huge. But it took a genius private businessman to do it =(

please that was an olympic meme no one ever heard of before

well for starters, usa never went to the moon

Space travel is expensive.
It was "cost efficient" previously because america and russia were dickwaving.

But now that it's back to "can we make money off this?" the answer is "Not with these current tech levels."

As for why technology hasnt improved enough, its called a technological plateau. I recommend reading "The great stagnation" it talks about this concept a lot. We've used up all the low hanging fruit of science concepts. What could previously be discovered by a relatively uneducated man over the course of a week 200 years ago, now new discoveries take teams of highly educated men working in tandem for years

Everything we do became politically motivated, even science. Hence the whole fuckshit about climate change. Even if it's true (or not) the way it's being handled reeks of government involvement and they're dictating what should be done or not. I don't care what is true, but I know it's all wrongly motivated and thus you can hardly believe anything any more. This is also the whole cause of "fake news". It's the fucking government disrupting everything. Time for you blind cunts to realise that, it's always the damn government.

All the Nazis in charge of our space program died.

years from that we still have the same rocket technology.
worse, nothing flying now can compare to the saturn v

the s-curve of technology

It starts slow, then gets fucking fast, then slows right down.

Same with every technology.

Internet, phones, cars etc.

Out golden age ended and we only have half as many beakers and hammers as we used to.

but the only objective should be to colonize other planets to ensure survival
what if it's expensive

>What the fuck happen?
We have better rocket tech, but it requires lots of electricity and politicians/bureaucrats don't like flying fission reactors through the air.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_thermal_rocket

Nuclear proliferation treaties gimped the development of rockets. In short, Russians are holding us, the civilized world, back.

aliens

The toxic combination of socialism and democracy.

Faggotry. Faggotry is the explanation for everything. Until the 1960s men were men. Just watch the movie The Right Stuff. Then men became faggots. And the result is the degeneracy, decadence and decline around us.

> germans invent shit
> other countries claim that success
> germany gets cucked and people don't do shit for country anymore
> no more inventions

the day you neutered germany, you lost progress, as easy as that

After nuclear weapons were tested and used the governments of the world discovered with absolute certain extraterrestial beings were observing us.

Going any further into space in manned missions that aren't run by governments that could censor them would let the cat out of the bag and humanity would lose their tribalism (like Sup Forums). The wealthy rulers of our individual tribal countries aren't about to allow that.

The cold war ended

colonization for the survival of the species is an absolute long term goal which means you have a very very difficult time convincing the people who would bankroll such an operation.

years from that we still have the same rocket technology.

user...

the point of the space race was to prove delivery methods for nuclear warheads. after both US and USSR proved that they can deliver the payload wherever they want the space race came to an end.

I mean we have advanced rocket technology, albeit not by the same leaps and bounds, but don't fall for that meme.

women got the vote and we started spending our money on shitskins instead of science

50 years later the glorious DPRK will use this rocket technology to BTFO Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada, and the western US.

Yes, is there a problem?

How would the fact that aliens exist make me dislike niggers less?

If anything, I'd want to exterminate the niggers even more than I already do to try and make a good impression on the space niggers.

>Going any further into space in manned missions that aren't run by governments that could censor them would let the cat out of the bag and humanity would lose their tribalism
i don't see why

>Wright brothers invented the plane

A catapult ain't no plane boy. A catapult that no one saw them using the first time, btw

Fug forgot pic

F to the soon to be dead anons

We abandoned the free market and adopted central planning of science

Technically we had self-landing rockets in the 60's and 70's.

all the money is being spent on military instead

Little known fact, the Wright brothers were also Jewish. Really makes you think.

Science only jumps.

You're posting a big part of the reason

I loved the Space Shuttle too, but it was a piece of shit. NASA wasted 30 fucking years and $196 billion launching that thing and it NEVER worked the way it was supposed to.

The "rocketry dream" (which is closest to attaining right now) is a spaceship that's an airplane. You take off, you land, you gas up, you take off again. Imagine how much a plane ticket would cost if at the end of every flight you had to parachute out of the 747 as it crashes into the ocean.

This was the theory of the Space Shuttle, but never the practice - the entire fucking thing had to be rebuilt from scratch after every mission. It wasn't a reusable spacecraft, it was a Ship of Theseus.

And this rebuilding process, especially the re-tiling of the heat shield, was so delicate that the fucking things had a 40% lifetime failure rate.

...

Technological progress is chaotic and non-linear, there's nothing wrong with what happened 50 years ago, its just that no one have found that new paradigm shift that skyrockets technology.

WWII saw the greatest leap in technology in human history. Turns out war is a good motivator and necessary to prevent stagnation.

regulations

The limits of physics happened.

Nanomaterials and computing are the only advancements left.

Affirmative action killed NASA.

The Space Shuttle was a rocket powered rigid Airship prop. It has never been into space. Nobody has.

A lot of things on this planet would be upended if we discovered a bunch of beings easily traipsing across the universe.

Fossil fuels would go immediately. Terrestrial religion, already taking a hammer to by science, would be obliterated. Such a revelation might be apocalyptic for our current civilization and its institutions. In its wake something more resembing the ET cultures would likely arise and I doubt anyone mingling in space gives a damn about borders and skin colors.

Affirmative Action, feeding nigs and chongs in worthless nations, acceptance of the greatest jewish trick of the white man's burden.

florida here
you triggered the fuck out of me, thanks

on a second note, where the fuck do i buy one of those?

This is the problem with all large-scale or long-term research projects - good luck convincing a company to fund a 20 year probe mission to Pluto or a multi-billion dollar fusion experiment. It's why you need to find a BALANCE between public and private research - both are good at different things.

Government research has a bigger payroll and can draw more talent from more areas. It's ideal for big projects, especially ones that may take a long time to complete or which may not have any immediate commercial applications. However it's completely shit when it comes to optimizing existing technology or making it commercially viable - that's where the private sector comes in.

>oh goyin why u askin proof goyin we did fly it first

but desu Santos Dumont did not gave a shit if he invented it or nah, thats why he never cared enough to claim shit. He was a sportsmen and an engineer and he did it for the joy of flying. Brazil that forces him as some kind of national hero.

If he did invented the plane, he probably did it by accident.

When he went to the US to fly on some tourney or whatever his equipment was misteriously destroyed, so someone was probably jewing the wright bros.

yes the same way we're using the same internal combustion engine tech from the 1800's

>it's a "civic nationalist thinks his worldview are worth shit outside his retarded skull" episode

the fucking worldwar happend. that answers your question. worldwar means technological competition.

then why did the Soviets build one?

where should rocket technology be at mr. armchair rocket scientist?

Jews

Niggers

welfare

Gibs

SWJ

free Porn

You do realize that had no atmosphere and little gravity, right?

Since the 80s NASA has done almost nothing.

Whatever though, we can do human exploration of Mars with 20th century technology.

>What the fuck happen?

yeah, i know, right?

it's almost as if physics had something to say about it

The real fucking kicker is if the aliens show up and confirm God's real, he just ditched us 2,000 years ago to make them.

>demons are simply his previous creations who became dicks
>We are among their ranks

Hence I said "technically".

religion and oil would go out of the window but not much else

Pretty much this

one thing is landing on mars and another thing is landing on a barge on earth

The relaunch costs of the shuttle were the main reason it ultimately ended up being so under-used. The shuttle was supposed to fly 4-5 times as many missions every year as it ended up doing, but it couldn't. Part of this was design limitations, part of this was being forced to use shitty parts from shitty suppliers to satisfy congressional pork spending, but the end result was you had a shuttle that was designed to be a workhorse - building dozens of permanent stations in orbit, shuttling maintenance crews to repair and upgrade existing satellites, etc but which we couldn't afford to use as intended.

As a result we only made a handful of major repair/upgrade missions (mostly Hubble) and the ISS ended up being downgraded and losing about a dozen modules (including the fucking awesome centripetal motion module which was basically finished at the time it was scrapped).

I don't have much hope for SLS for the same reason - instead of focusing on improving designs and building something that can do what we need it to do, Congress is more concerned with making sure it keeps defense contractors employed to provide motors and components.

Is that the excuse you'll cling to when life on other planets is confirmed? I thought your invisible sky fairy was all-knowing and all-powerful?

Someone post that picture of the shuttle maintenance conceptualized and in reality

I ain't afraid of No Dong.

Too real, bro. I feel a REEEEEEEE coming on.

We haven't had any new technology since the 60's. We had improvements on previous existing technology such as computers, monitors, data storage, ect..

I like this.

You're awesome.

That isn't true, but the there's some truth to it.

...

By the time SLS is even ready to fly there should be objectively superior options available from both SpaceX and Blue Origin

Also SLS is already looking at $2 billion+ per launch what the fuuuuuck man

It's done plenty, just nothing with the same level of PR as the Apollo program.

Kepler's discovered thousands of potential Earth-like planets in our neighborhood. Dawn's investigating the largest asteroids in the Belt. Juno's giving us the closest look at Jupiter and its moons since Voyager. We landed an SUV-sized autonomous laboratory on Mars with a fucking rocket-crane.

NASA's doing plenty of cool shit, it's just that the public and the government don't give a fuck.

Meanwhile

No more world wars

Nigger I'm not even Christian or white you need to pick up a hobby.

And Elon Musk is South African, which I swear is the real reason he wants to fuck off from Earth

>even reaching the moon.

It's over, time to sell all stocks, death of company is imminent.

I know. Point is the rocket engines on the Falcon 9 aren't much different than rocket engines 50 years ago.
What has changed significantly is the electronic guidance systems.

Great Society slit NASA's throat.

Then Obama shot them behind the ear with his Chicago .38 by changing their mission to "monitoring the climate" etc.

It's a good we've still got Britain eh?

>21st century
>Still using chemical fuel rockets
>Not using magnet technology in goesync orbit over nasa

The only thing SLS has going for it right now is raw payload, but that won't account for much if companies like SpaceX and ULA can put forth comparable heavy-lifters for half the cost or less.

Congress didn't learn its lesson from the Ares disaster. We shelled out $15 billion to Boeing, LockMart, and ATK to build a next generation rocket and the only thing we got for our money was an off-the-shelf SRB with a useless mooring mounted on the top. That's like paying a car dealer for a new Mercedes-Benz and getting a used Ford Tempo with the words "Mercedes" written on the side in house paint.

Now they're relying on the same kinds of cost-plus contracts and even some of the same contractors to build the SLS.

NASA slows the fuck down without a presidential imperative. NASA needs a goal, such as mars.

Yeah, everyone on Sup Forums will love this.

Did you know that there was a civil rights protest at the first Apollo launch? 500 people showed up, two mule wagons and a young Jesse Jackson in tow, to demand the money being wasted on moon landings go towards slave reparations instead. This song was written in their honor.

he was thrown down stairs by niggers so i wouldn't blame him if he wanted to exterminate them all.

Yes goy trust (((NASA))) and their findings, there has been no technological advancements since then.

The irony is we hitch rides to space with them now

Based Ivan gets it.

The Apollo program was axed because of Welfare.

People vote for free shit instead of science.

On the EXACT same fucking spacecraft they've been launching continuously since 1966

What a fucking waste of a spacecraft.

All that labor, for nothing.

not for much longer though, Soyuz/Shenzhou is gonna be obsolete soon
