Orion test launch tomorrow. If all goes according to plan they're looking at 2021 for a manned mission to an asteroid. Followed by a manned mission to Mars in 2030s.

Correction, Mars is in 2030s.
Manned mission to an asteroid is scheduled for 2021.

Well, I can't say I care right now with the date it has, but it'll definitely be something to keep track of once it happens.

Nah. Just like any other country, the US can never have any claims on any celestial body.
I was joking. ;) Especially since the ESA is helping w/ the Orion rocket. Eventually those rules will become obsolete though. Once humans are able to make other planets and moons more habitable (and gain resources etc.) its going to be first come first serve. Just like the Americas were for the Europeans. Which is troubling since the US is going more commercial in this. (Essentially the lore of the killzone series. Space X = Helghan Corp)

You know China won't gaf. Any nation that can't go to mars can do nothing to stop it because any nation that can go to mars is going to be a major economic power on earth. There's a reason Japan, Korea, and India are in their own space race now, since that's the new front for warfare (satellites) as well.

I think you underestimate what the UN can still do against countries blatantly breaking important treaties like that. It is true that the countries and unions capable of going to Mars are major economic powers, but we're not even close to the point where a single country can dominate the entire global scene. No major country is going to take the risk of being on the receiving end of global economic sanctions.
Meh. Maybe. But its the same reason China + US get away with murder in the UN with human rights abuses / espionage. Sanctioning them will do more damage to the nations doing the sanctioning. Far easier to pick a side and benefit from being an ally. But maybe I'm being a pessimist.

Feminism and women's rights are more important than landing humans on an asteroid and mars.

I'm gonna be old and full of mold by then but at least I will be alive for something like that! If anyone wants to be an astronaut now is the time...

lol

Spend years earning fancy science degree and training, can die in a million ways. Brave men and women. But come on, how badass would it be if you were the first human on another planet?

The rocket looks awesome just sitting. I'm hoping it launches soon

Plot twist: We're sending Matthew McConaughey into space.

OT: Yes! Finally! I'll be an old fucker by then, but I don't even care. It's about time.

Offtopic, have any of you guys read The Martian? It's about an astronaut that gets stranded alone on Mars in a Nasa research station for a year. Good book.

Skylon is certainly a marvel, they planning on testing it anytime soon?

I wish.
They don't really announce much, which is frustrating, but understandable at this stage in development.
Last I heard they'd demonstrated a working precooler to ESA, and ESA published a report saying that a working model is entirely possible with current technologies.
Not entirely sure they are doing right now, possibly building a full prototype engine.
First test flights are meant to be around 2017-2020, but they could and probably will change.
Those engines are complicated as fuck, it's going to take a while.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Ahh, it's good to be alive. The 2nd Space Race is picking up pace, and if I'm lucky and I actually finish my Geology degree and get into space-stuff, I could be researching all the lovely Mars rocks coming back... or even be there, if I'm very particularly blessed.
