Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Those Hydrogen Fuel Cells the car makers are trying to figure out -- there was an early version of them in use on the Gemini and Apollo missions 40 years ago. http://www.nasm.si.edu/exhibitions/attm/a11.jo.fc.1.html

Imagine if we'd stuck with the Apollo program then, and continued exploring. We'd have stayed on course as a people and reaped the benefits of the technologies developed.

Forget government bailouts. Set a national goal to return to space exploration. Throw your bailout money at that instead of pet projects of Senators that will give a few people work for a few months. A true focus on exploration would give tens of thousands work, and a renewed focus on learning and developing new technologies. Now and for generations to come. Benefits not just for Americans, but for all mankind.

Time to Boldly Go!
