Richardo don't be silly you know astronauts drink their own pee, they have machines to purify water you know...

lol, reminds me of a news-clip on the radio. The DJ was reading a scientific update about NASA's filtration system that allowed astronauts Urine to be recycled for drinking water. He then said "well, that's great, but Mexico has had this technology for YEARS, it's called Corona...."

This is very interesting news. If we didn't go to the moon the frist time I hope we actually pull it off this time for real.

Also, I hope that we shoot ourselves out towards Mars during my lifetime. But I doubt it seeing as they "plan" to go up there in 2018. I'll be 33 when that happens. GO NASA GO!

Every time you go get a drink of water from any source, chances are that sometime in the 4 billion year history of earth, some animal or creature absorbed that water and ****ed it out. So nothing to worry about, really.

Im from USA

My question always was if we got there in 1969 how come we have not been back but only cause another country is about to get there...

Did we even get there the 1st time...??

well after 69 the vietnam war was starting to get sticky and we were pulling out, so there was that going on. That lasted until about 74. Then only a few years after the cold war started up taking much of the money from NASA, then by the time the cold war ended stuff was too old to use practicly, and there had been major leaps in technology, so the shuttle was developed and made and we were more interested in doing experiements and sending rovers and satellites to other planets then landing on the moon

As for the china thing: what, is chica gonna stack it's people all up on top of each other and get there before us?
