Sod's Law 500 Posted October 31, 2024 9 hours ago, Comped said: Based seemingly on Trump's spaceflight policy, at least according to the statement? Assuming he wrote it himself, he does seem to be mentally well, but that's an odd reason to endorse somebody! Could also be partly based on the influence of a certain Mr. Musk who, for better or worse, is seen by many as America's best hope for getting to Mars one day. NASA funding has cratered and private investment is seen as essential for America's spaceflight aspirations these days. Buzz has always been a strong advocate for a manned Mars mission. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buzz's own book on lunar and martian "cyclers" makes much less sense than Musk's idea, which is essentially a more advanced version of the proposals from Buzz's time at NASA for a Mars mission. Plus a bigger rocket or two, of course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lafaucheuse 4,314 Posted Monday at 17:04 I wouldn't consider him out of the woods yet though, turning 95, has been on oxygen (maybe still is ?), that's suspicious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
