The only problem is that Hydrogen has more lifting potential than Helium. Doesn't mean it couldn't be made to work, but you can't just exchange Hydrogen with Helium and not make changes elsewhere (shedding weight, etc.)

The government takes about $200 billion dollars a month, of that $20 is debt service. That leaves $180 billion. They problem is that government spends more than it takes it. It's going to have to cut $150+ billion a month. Smaller government is not a bad thing.
Also, Obama has no plan, he just criticizes other. And Obama says we all have to sacrifice, what about the 47% of tax payers who don't pay any? When are they going to sacrifice. The top 10% of taxpayers pay 70% of the taxes and 47% pay nothing. The is the travesty.
This is a crisis created by Obama and the Democrats and their obsession to spend. Obama running up huge deficits and now blaming the conservatives who want to restore the financial credibility. Obama deserves all the negatives from this.
In other words -- "it's all Obama's fault, and the Democrats fault...any anyone else who doesn't agree with me!"
The Republicans spent themselves into bankruptcy in order to take control of the House of Representatives, that means son they own EVERY SINGLE THINGS that happens right along with Democrats and Obama. This "it's the last guys fault!" crap didn't cut mustard when Democrats "blamed Bush" IT DOES NOT CUT MUSTARD WHEN REPUBLICANS WANT TO BLAME DEMOCRATS.
You all better just slap some smiles on your faces because you're right here hip deep in shit with us REGARDLESS of how much you'd like to shift the blame (or as I like to call it "Blame Bush part 2")
A half truth is a half lie. Trying to play word games is nothing more than a lie and if Obama believes
that he can destroy the constitution by having us define "is" like B.J. Clinton he should be impeached!!!
Impeachment trials happen in the Senate -- so try again.
Which "they" would say is simple enough to solve -- don't send lunar transfer shuttles the size of the ISS.
Nuclear Fission would be better than Fusion.
While Fusion could -- in theory, with a lot of transmutation -- be made to work with the Water Ice on the moon, Fission could be made to work right now, using a few pounds of Uranium to power a colony for years.
Better than that -- if it was a Plutonium based reactor -- it's quite possible for a single fuel load to power a colony for decades.
Because that's what "let's see what the government got hidden!" is -- the equivalent of unicorns and pixie dust.
Yes! I'm tired of hearing from "scientists" -- I want to see what the magicians are doing!!!
That's all well and bottled up until you realize that the "heavy lift rocket" you glaze over at the very end IS SOMETHING YOU CAN'T EVEN LEAVE LOW-EARTH ORBIT (much less go to the Moon or any place else) WITHOUT.
At best you can say that President Obama has kicked the "NASA Can" down the road a little, but to suggest he's somehow tying their hands is ludicrous.
As little as 12 months from now we could well have PRIVATE CORPORATIONS able to supply human access to low-earth orbit (which is all you need to reach the ISS, do any type of larger construction in the event you choose to go to the Moon, Mars, etc.) -- NASA DOESN'T NEED TO WASTE MONEY ON THAT.
Thirty years ago, yes -- the Space Shuttle was one hell of a deal (even with its cost over runs and greatly exaggerated capabilities) -- but now it's 100% superfluous and the only reason to continue flying it is out of nothing but pride -- and pride is something you've got to get over if you want to do great things.
What's ultimately going to happen with NASA, I have no idea. But five years from now (perhaps as few as three) they will have the technical capability to do anything we can dream of (Private Launchers to send astronauts into space, their own Heavy Launch Vehicle to go farther, etc.) -- all we'll have to do is choose our destiny!
See --
Right -- And when he was running, George W. bush threw the bone of regulating CO2.
No, they won't implode -- they'll simply choose one or the other, and if the United States is any indication, they'll choose their economy over the environment.

We've been spending "borrowed money" since 1776 -- that's all I'M saying.
You don't run up your credit cards buying big screen TVs (the wars), ATVs (Healthcare), and other such toys (tax cuts), and then suddenly decide "no more spending!" when your Grandma needs a kidney transplant -- that doesn't make you principled, son, that makes you a big chicken-shit.
If you think your POLITICAL COMMENTARY disguised as some type of "won't someone please think of the children!" type rant is truly hidden, I've got a big bridge to sell you.
Why don't you head over to CNN/MSNBC/Fox News/etc. and "wow them" with your jive-ass talk radio-esque political "insight" on any of their random comment sections.
Let's just hope he doesn't wind up in a bathtub trying to cut tumors out of his leg.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
