Why We Must Return to the Moon and Beyond
By: Kevin Rogers
Let me start by saying that all these pussy politicians who can’t take a stand FOR returning to the moon is dead to me. I was just reading an article the other day that drove me insane and I decided I must write something in response. The basic premise of this article was that we should discontinue NASA and it’s funding. I call boulder dash. Who in their right mind would honestly want to do such a thing.
Let me guess, if that person is you, you are probably saying, the country is in debt trillions already, why continue to fund NASA’s experiments and trips to the moon? Shut up you pansy. The reason NASA is important includes several reasons.
1) They shoot rockets, really, really big rockets, thus by simple math NASA=Awesome.
2) Space suits make astronauts look super skinny.
3) Aliens could be hiding around the corner at any moment, and we NEED to be ready because Will Smith can’t bail us out every time from some alien attack.
If you couldn’t tell, I was kidding. The real reason we need to continue NASA’s funding is because NASA has provided us with some of the coolest shit. Since NASA started shooting people on rockets into space they have been working on things. Most people don’t even realize all that NASA has done for us. Are you watching TV right now? How about talking on your cell phone today, did you do that? What about using a GPS to get somewhere? That’s because NASA decided to be badass and shoot a satellite into orbit around the earth.
I imagine your probably telling yourself that you could live without that stuff. Well I would call you a goddamn liar, and you should stop saying nonsense. I’ll expand upon what NASA has done for you. How about the medical fields, for all you people that have pacemakers, thank NASA. How about an Ultra sound technology? Yeah NASA also. Not to mention anything having to do with breast cancer detection and treatment could be contributed to NASA and it’s advanced technology.
The fact is I could keep going and list everything from Air tanks for fire fighters, to stronger and safer winter tires for your car. The worst part is you have morons out their whom think we should stop developing this stuff. The argument always is, well we don’t need to go to outer space for NASA to invent things. Yes, we do. For us non-eggheads let me pose this question, how may times have you been working on and project, and thought to yourself “man I sure with I had something that did XYZ”. Well the same thing happens with NASA, the only difference, NASA goes ahead and creates that thing FROM SCRATCH.
The truth is NASA needs to be planning to go the moon and Mars, not only because it would be kick ass to be able to go to the moon for vacation, but because we need NASA firing on all cylinders and making top notch grade A, American bad-ass-ery. So the next time you guys hear your local senator or Congressman talking about how they are going to vote to cut of NASA’s funding, call them and tell them to shove it up their ass.
I agree with everything you had to say buddy. Whatever NASA wants, I want to give it to them. They are the smartest sons of a bitches out there and if they need funding we need to give it to them.
Forget the moon! I want to go to Mars, total recall style!! lmao
They created velcro too! We beat the world at getting to the moon cuz we are awesome like that. America dominates via nearly all millitary and space aspects. Go Obama for changing up the program and letting off a bunch of Americas’ smartest minds. His ass wants to contract out other countries to transport our stuff back n forth from space. Way to a step back on advancing America.
HEY CHECK THIS OUT BITCHES:
NASA has been having major issues with sending people to Mars solely because the resources required to support life in the 8 month long journey is too great… What to do NASA…what to do…. I’ll tell you what the fuck to do! Shoot a prob into the dam moon with the hope of finding water (the one resource that weighs the most)and discovering water on the fucking moon!! Now what bitches?! You know what else we discovered? A beach on a moon orbiting Saturn! WATER! ON TITAN! What else is NASA working on? Bending space for space travel! Guess what else we could use that for…go on I’ll wait…give up? Fucking teleporting! Yea! You could be in your room and decide to go to Paris…BOOM! NASA bent space for you and now youre there! We wont see that shit in our lifetimes but it’ll happen… Oh and did I mention that NASA is tracking over 1000 objects in space? Yep. Oh and about a 3rd of those objects could potentially collide with Earth. Oh you need more? Ok! NASA is tracking sunspots 24/7! What does that mean… Well the average sunspot creates the Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis for you nerds. A more powerful sunspot can create an EMP and the worst case scenerio could cause a polar reversion and/or ripoff our ozone… Although they cant do much to protect us they can warn us DAYS in advance… DAYS! Do I really need to go on reminding why we NEED NASA?! Ok so maybe we can save some money at the National Aeronautical Space Administration by not going to the moon as much, gas is just too expensive these days… IM PLAYING GOLF ON THE MOON, BITCH!
Mr Angry eyes babbles… but has a lot of good points. We cant abandon the most important thing our species has. NASA could potentially save us from an asteroid killing, developing colonies on different planets, or any number of unforseen ideas to prolong the human race.
We really need NASA.. Tell me how to help Kevin.
Just like its inevitable that we die, if we dont figure out a way off this planet then our whole race dies. It will happen, it may be a long time from now, but it will happen. Ill probably be dead long before we set up a new civilization on Mars, but to save us we need to go there..
Good call, NASA cannot be something that gets cut. The smartest people in the world need an organization, and if we disban that I hope the human race does die.. we’d deserve it.
I would like to be Locked in a big space capsule with Freddy…
Im glad to see the younger generations care about such an important program. I especially love this style of writing, quite entertaining while making a very valid point. I hope to read more in the future.
dang cool story bro.
I found this blog after doing a search for “fuck pokerstars” I decided to delve deeper after reading the one-year-old post regarding punching baby faces and stuff.
I am not disappointed.
Regarding this current post, I cannot say I think the moon is a worthy endeavor, but I can also say that scrapping our funding for NASA and handing it over to private interest is a critically fucked up idea. You cannot trust corporations to do anything that will ever benefit mankind as a whole.
There is one valid, glaring reason to maintain and increase NASA funding and that is so we can get the fuck off this planet once and for all.
