ja, but that technological development that would have come from it would have been amazing, IMO.

 

It's not just about the moon and mars. It's all the knock on stuff. But that's a different argument. 

at what cost?

all in 2010 US$

Apollo program was $100bn

What did we get from it?

 

I'm playing massive devil's advocate here, I love this sort of thing, but can totally see why the money men decided enough was enough.

This pappie (Viktor Surin) is now entering the desert region of Western Cape from the relative greenery of the Namib, give him a shout out if you spot him 

Hardcore as well as his kit.

The Apollo program was basically at the beginning of NASA, and laid the foundation for all other programs after that. So it's going to be the most expensive. Everything that was learnt, and the technology that was developed during Apollo program would have helped the rest of the programs be comparatively cheaper.

Richard Pryor's wife's response ..[emoji23][emoji23]

 

Jennifer tells TMZ ... Richard would have no shame about Quincy's comments. She says the comedic legend was always very open about his bisexuality with friends, and documented it extensively in diaries. Jennifer says she'll publish them later this year.

 

As for Richard hooking up with Brando -- she says, "It was the '70s! Drugs were still good, especially quaaludes. If you did enough cocaine, you'd f*** a radiator and send it flowers in the morning."

 

Jennifer says she has no doubt Richard would be cracking up if he heard Quincy spilling the tea.
