Been reading a book the last couple of weeks on the history of anti-gravity research.
Secrets of Antigravity Propulsion by Paul A. Laviolette, Ph.D.
By 1955, it had been discovered how to travel at 85% of the speed of light by applying 310 volts at a few milliamps to a saucer-shaped object with a pair of electrodes......
By 1957 ALL the major aerospace corporations were publicizing how they were getting involved in anti-grav research, saying we would have aircraft that could fly at 10,000 mph within a decade or so....then about 1959 they suddenly all went silent, and everything became heavily classified.....
I look at this Mars lander stuff as a smokescreen....
I mean, it is all well and good to keep the public interest going on about space, etc.
But truth be told, the former head of Lockheed Skunkworks said in an interview in the late 90s that they already had interplanetary travel capabilities....as in "Star Wars, Star Trek...been there, done that...."
So to me this is all a dog and pony show. Simply a way for scientists who are not in the loop to do some low-level research that only has value for them because they do not know anything about advanced technology, as they don't have high enough security clearances.
No, not needing to be fitted for a tin-foil hat. Just going by what factual information on that subject is publicly available.
There was a show on cable this evening about the landing. They detailed all of the Mars probes since the 70s....including the ones that failed.....
Glad this one succeeded in landing. It will keep Congressional budgets for NASA from being slashed....at least it will keep them from being slashed too much....Comment

Apparently I'm still missing something. All of these items were created because we send human beings into space? These technologies were captured from the Moon and Mars? Or were they created here on planet Earth. I just don't understand how landing on Mars is supposed to be this tremendous benefit to all mankind. I'm not saying Nasa is useless....just wondering what landing on other planets is supposed to do for anyone or anything other than our country's ego.Comment

That was exactly the kind of question people asked when the Large Hadron Collider was being planned. Some people are still asking it without realizing that it led directly to the World Wide Web.
The act of exploration leads to knowledge and benefits. You don't always know where you are going or what you are going to get when you take the first step.Last edited by Seshmeister; 08-07-2012, 11:55 AM.Comment

Well let's take a look at some of the more simple and easily applied benefits from that list. Look at all of the fire fighting technologies that enable firefighters to safely fight fires and save lives. That helps a lot of people... right?
Well... space is a nasty place. Once outside of our atmosphere... radiation, wide temperature ranges both cold and hot... require protective clothing. In other words space suits. Then there's the whole breathing thing... the technology developed to safely put a human in space and been adapted to humans safely fighting fires... thus benefiting in saved lives. That's a good thing... right?
Now no, these technologies were not captured from the moon and Mars... both of those are planet type things that do not produce technologies. All of this wonderful stuff was invented right here on Earth... another planet type thing infested with humans and human like things... like Seshmeister, LoungeMachine & Elvis...
Point is... the research and development of space exploration has produced tons of technologies that have improved life on Earth for those human and human like beings.
It may not be the simple and direct development you are thinking... many were indirect adaptations. Put it simply... if we didn't invest in space exploration, a lot of very good stuff would not have been invented in the last 60 years.
On the benefit to mankind thing... those mankind units are very restless and get bored easily. If we aren't busy working on figuring out the mysteries of the universe then we're out stirring up trouble. You'll notice that millions of humans and human like beings spend their whole lives researching and developing this "space stuff". That may seem like a waste of good time and money... but look at how many of those folks aren't starting wars and shootin up movie theaters. It makes the world safer..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

Ok ZahZoo....the nutshell version of that can be summed up in one sentence:
Idle hands are the devil's plaything!
