A friend found a website earlier. I honestly don't know what to say about it. They speak of space exploration, membership fees, marketing for children's toys and playing role play games online.

I'll just leave that there.

A scam for the terminally gullible?

Just for ref the vast majority of space type threads end up here, so Eric can easily find them.

HTH.

Well as the budget for manned moon trips is £0.00, it's as good as anything!

[The Nur]

Sorry, didn't know where to put it.

It's a scam, this is true. Quite a funny one though if you have a look through the site.

Good job Columbus didn't have a computer; he'd have spent his whole life farting about making nice graphics instead of getting into a boat and actually doing something.

Good point actually. We now have computers. No more faster than sound commercial flights, no more manned moon missions, no more shuttle flights.

But lots and lots of naked people doing rude things

So they reckon, because they are a private enterprise and therefore not subject to the whims of Government that:

"Our current estimate of the total cost of the space flight program through completion of the reference mission is US$1.421 billion."



That should be in the Sean Connery thread.
