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.

Starting this blog

Why is mankind still earthbound? Think about 19th and 20th century science fiction. Jules Verne, Athur C Clarke, etc. We should be going to the stars by now. The space race of the 1960's got mankind off to a great start. Then we stopped.

We abandoned exploration, and got ourselves stuck in low Earth Orbit for decades. Now we're not even going to do much of that anymore.

The benefits of a renewed focus on space exploration would foster new technologies, new solutions for power, and innovations that would benefit us on earth as well as in the stars.

This blog is about the hopes and dreams for humanity to reach out to the stars again. Back to the moon, to Mars, and beyond. It's time, our governments be damned, it's time.
