Fly Me To the Moon

Holy shit, it's been a like 1000 blog years since we posted anything for your Scientific pleasure. So, here is something awesome: You know the International Space Station? Why don't we put an engine and a cockpit on that motherfucker and send it to the Moon! After all, what is it currently other than a glorified hundred billion dollar camper trailer cruising in low earth orbit? Okay, okay, they do some Science there too. But its basically the exact same Science that the Russians have been doing in other various space stations for the past 30 years.

Don't get us wrong, we love NASA, but you have to admit that their current project to get to the Moon by 2020, Orion, seems a little lackluster considering that we've already fucking done it a bunch of times in the 60s/70s and it only took us like 8 years then to get from basically the drawing board to a man walking on the moon.

Who even knows what is going to happen to the ISS after the Space Shuttle fleet (if you can call 2 remaining shuttles a fleet) is retired in a few years, especially since the Russians might not let us use their Soyuz vehicles anymore if we don't play nice with them. Indeed, sending the ISS to the Moon asap would not only be politically, economically, and scientifically efficient, but it would also be pretty much the fucking coolest thing NASA has ever done. Except for going to the Moon the first time, that is.
