F9, delta, and atlas are all capable of sending 7 or more ppl into space.
In addition, dragon 1 and 2 are fully capable of holding 7 humans today.

Going to mars after going to the moon is much easier than going to the moon for first time.
The problem is that going to mars was too expensive because companies became too expensive. Now, spacex and Bigelow are making it cheap to go to both.

BTW, I doubt that you will see any human piss in space.

Wow. That just plain sux. I liked the idea of innovative cars, but running them through traditional makers is a losing proposition. Hey do you know what is/has happened to a similar car maker from new Orleans area? I can not recall its name.

Uh no. The majority of rockets have not been lh2/lox. It is absolutely rp-1 or kerosine combined with lox. And second would be udmh combined with N2O4.

Even now, dragon 1 and dragon 2 are very capable of launching humans into space and bringing them back. What is missing is that NASA and faa would deny launch because full testing has not been completed.

It's not shocking, as it seems a good portion of every profession is incompetent.

Yeah, america keeps landing larger crafts on mars which is far more difficult than earth, venus, or the moon. As such when ppl claim that we have lost it, they obviously do not read.

But I differ with you about how robots are doing fine without us. They are very limited. In addition, the GOP continues to force NASA to be a jobs program, which means that economically, we could not go to the moon or mars.

musk and Bigelow are changing the economics of it. Both are making it so that not only will america be on a lunar base within 6 years, but we will be at a Martion base within 15 years.

Nope

Since snowden, US is quite restrained on spying. Instead, we are going to see a major increase in terrorist attacks.

The west will be on the moon by 2022 or sooner.

Assuming that the american GOP can be stopped, america will have humans at a luner base by 2022 if not 2020. Bigelow, with NASA help, are working hard to put us there. What is needed is spacex's MCT, which is designed to put 100 tonnes on mars in one shot, for less than $.5B. Musk will be happy to do lunar trips as well, but the GOP keep trying to gut Bigelow and spacex.

The golf is NOT quick. It does 0-60 in somewhere around 5.7 up to 8.9, depending on the engine. That is slow. It is not a fiat, but it is also not a model S.
And as a previous rabbit owner, I liked the car fine, but good looking? Nope.

I wondered why that went away.
THanx.

Roadster has gen 1 of the tesla battery. On the cars that have reached 120K, the worst one so far, was at 80%. The average is around 93% or so.
Tesla just announced new batteries for the roadster that will give them a range of 400 MPC. Not sure what the price will be yet. However, these are the same batteries that are in the Model S, and are expected to be over 98% when it hits 100K miles. The Model S is expecting that at around 150-250K miles, you will need to replace the batteries. If you do it in the next 5 years, you will pay around 15-20K. If you do it around 10 years, the batteries are expected to be around 2500 for a much better set of batteries.
