A double shot of pain: one for science and one for NASA.

MAJOR FAIL !!!

Wow, that is sad. Guess we can also blame that on global warming, sort of.

They'll have to ask us, I'd imagine: those scientists don't know anything about the climate compared to us regular folks.

Always sucks to see something of NASA's failing.

Everyhting they do is a failure IMO...ever since this supposed "Landing on the Moon" they have failed at anything remotely complex to the Space Exploration/Technology field

They successfully landed multiple rovers on Mars, two of which are far exceeding their design lifetimes. They launched two probes that are on their way to deep space, both far exceeding their design lifetimes and one almost completely clear of the solar system. They fixed a busted mirror with tolerances far beyond anything we can picture while it was floating in space. They've built two space stations. They've crashed a probe into a comet so the mother satellite could pick up what's in it like a bloodhound sniffing down a sausage. They've put two satellites in orbit around the Sun, giving us 3-d imagery of it for the first time.

I think in general they've done pretty well, particularly in light of a distinct lack of funding and political support for what they do for most of the past 30 years compared to what they need for the next 30.

You're another one who thinks it was faked?...........

You have to remember that everything that is to do with space exploration is complex. Sending a shuttle up to the ISS with a huge payload isn't exactly like hopping into the car and driving to the local store.

I"m one of those ppl who have expected allot more from them...with the way technology has evolved over the years, we should atleast be able to walk the Moon as we please to do more research and should have landed on another planet by now

I'm pretty sure when i say that you shouldn't blame NASA for that one.

Quick question? What do you mean by walk the moon as we please? A few astronauts? Or hundreds of people living there? What research are you wanting?

"Giant Underground Chamber Discovered On the MoonBack in 2009, the Japanese Space Agency JAXA announced moon hole deep enough to contain a small human base. Now, the Indian Space Research Organization has discovered a "giant underground chamber" near the Moon's equator, in the Oceanus Procellarum area."
Maybe we could find more cool stuff like this? Or do we and it is just not a very big deal to the public?

Tbh i think the next big thing will be Mars. It's quite sad that the public only takes note when NASA and other space agencies try to get further away from the Earth. All the bits in between are important too ya know!
