NASA using Orbiter?

And we didn't even get that...

That's not true, we did get a 1:1 scale model rocket.

This is all very amusing. The real discoveries are being done with remote sensing instruments and unmanned probes. The other 4/5th's of NASA is happy toiling in LEO and the boardroom.

NASA calls this the year of the solar system? HA! Whatta frakking joke. They are reaching. We did 2 probes to the moon, a new mars rover, and a jupiter orbiter.

Seems they forgot mercury, venus, saturn, neptune, uranus, pluto.
Though Cassini is hard at work at saturn right now..

Factoid, NASA spent $475,000 to come up with the different classifications of missions. You know, such as Flagship, New Frontiers, Discovery, etc.. And the bean counter is paid $82,000 a year to maintain that categorical listing.

Given what people did with it, I can understand NASA's hesitation to pursue that project any further. :lol:

Pretty stupid stuff that isn't a whole lotta funny. Could you honestly expect anything else out of today's youth? Having to put that kiddie steam thing on my system makes it 2x worse!

Back on topic, does Martin and the XR creators know about this?

I'm sure they've been informed by now, this thread's been getting a lot of attention.
