we have lift off

"The female version is a funnel that is oval in
shape and is 2 inches by 4 inches wide at the rim. Near the
rim of the funnel are small holes or slits for air to pass
through so an astronaut can place the funnel on her body
without getting sucked in."

Yes, but that's for the comparatively well-equipped and roomy Shuttle and Station, which had actual lav compartments. cn
 
[video=youtube_share;MsXE-ii9eCA]http://youtu.be/MsXE-ii9eCA[/video] interesting idea. the people will not come back. they are there for life. its called mars one. watch you'll understand once it gets started, which it already has , people will be there and back all these things are ready its just the finance part is waiting. the way i see it, someone knows that planet earth is screwed so they want to make a second one for when the first fails. any one want to donate a tree to one of the companies? you know my maple would be a great start.

ceres is the moon of mars with a icy body and there tons of it melted it could be used for water and God knows what. it hasnt been explored with rovers yet. but it could be an outpost. so once mars is taken as a base it will soon be on to ceres for our water. all the new enthusiasm has sparked insane ideas to help bring people closer to living in space.
 
Slight correction: the moons of Mars are Deimos and Phobos ... two small rocky bodies in a low, retrograde orbit.
Ceres is an asteroid (minor planet) in the Belt between Mars and Jupiter. it is the largest such at about 1000 km diameter. It's an intriguing target for space mining. cn

they are preparing for a new station piece to come in next year. tearing stuff up out side and making sure shields are in place to help. but the old pod with launch off from the station before the new one comes in. i dont understand why this old piece isnt turned into a storage space for air tanks and food storage it cost a shit ton to send stuff up and soon it will look like a giant top

SEV. a vechile being tested for metor harvesting. there is a ten day mock mission to test EQ that would help in this

XCOR Aerospace will move from cali to florida.

"CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Lured by more than $5.7 million in state and local economic incentives and a skilled work force looking for jobs following the retirement of the space shuttles, XCOR Aerospace plans to manufacture and fly Lynx suborbital vehicles from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) here."


they make rockets and have 3 vechiles so far almost ready to fly or able to.

after these guys theres 30 more companies ready to take on space. the money is there. i still want to send a tree into space.
 
i grow pretty good stuff and i say i but damn no one will buy from me here so whats the point. i just dontthink i am meant to sell weed.


A Dutch company that aims to land humans on Mars in 2023 as the vanguard of a permanent Red Planet colony has received its first funding from sponsors, officials announced this week.

Mars One plans to fund most of its ambitious activities via a global reality-TV media event, which will follow the mission from the selection of astronauts through their first years on the Red Planet. But the sponsorship money is important, helping the company — which had been self-funded for the last 18 months — get to that point, officials said Wednesday (Aug. 29).
 
Who wants to be the first space drug dealer?...and it'd be perfectly legal ;)
i got moon rocks..

branson is part of his own company. i mean in sure all these dudes end up meeting each other soon enough but as far as being partners, not real sure. they may have signing deals to help each other so it sounds good.
so nasa will put an outpost by the moon for future stuffs. but heres the deal russia and china want 2023 to have put bases on the moon. somewhere someone will kick this thing into over drive to leap ahead. nasa will lose funding but with so many companies in the space race its not going to be too long before nasa will have seriously have to keep up with newer space agencies.

At 277,000 miles from Earth, the outpost would be far more remote than the current space station, which orbits a little more than 200 miles above Earth. The distance raises complex questions of how to protect astronauts from the radiation of deep space — and rescue them if something goes wrong.

NASA Chief Charlie Bolden briefed the White House earlier this month on details of the proposal, but it's unclear whether it has the administration's support. Of critical importance is the price tag, which would certainly run into the billions of dollars.
Documents obtained by the Orlando Sentinel show that NASA wants to build a small outpost — likely with parts left over from the $100 billion International Space Station — at what's known as the Earth-Moon Lagrange Point 2, a spot about 38,000 miles from the moon and 277,000 miles from Earth.
At that location, the combined gravities of the Earth and moon reach equilibrium, making it possible to "stick" an outpost there with minimal power required to keep it in place.
To get there, NASA would use the massive rocket and space capsule that it is developing as a successor to the retired space shuttle. A first flight of that rocket is planned for 2017, and construction of the outpost would begin two years later, according to NASA planning documents.
Potential missions include the study of nearby asteroids or dispatching robotic trips to the moon that would gather moon rocks and bring them back to astronauts at the outpost. The outpost also would lay the groundwork for more-ambitious trips to Mars' moons and even Mars itself, about 140 million miles away on average.
