Description
Forty years ago, the inhabitants of a small, bluish planet in the outer arm of the Milky Way Galaxy were looking toward the planet's lone natural satellite. The children of this planet were racing to where no man has gone before...Mesh by Starship and Cassio, Max 9 conversion by and me

I don't understand why, but the flared bits on the Enterprise-B's lower hull make her look a little like a maritime ship.

I think that was one of the intentions when the Enterprise-B was designed, They were also made so that there would be no need to cut into the actual model during the scene when the Ribbon Gouges a huge chunk of the ship during it's escape. Unfortunately the glue that they used damaged the model and so the pieces had to be left on which is why the U.S.S.Β Lakota (DS9:Β Paradise Lost)Β is seen with the Enterprise-B additions.

If we can land a man on the moon, Mars shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully with projects of the future solving that problem, mankind will once again pioneer into a new space age.

I think that the Apollo landigns were fabricated. If they can't launch them now, how could have they done it 40 years ago?

Because NASA had funding. Β They get a tiny fraction of what they had in the 60's.
Like they said in The Right Stuff "No bucks, no Buck Rogers."
There's also the issue of many of the companies that built components being out of business, or blueprints having been lost to time.

Well I don't think they were.

I don't know. It seems unlikely that if the could make it 40 years ago, they're struggling now to make it again. Why don't they dust off the old designs, update them with modern technology and voila. They can't, because the things never worked. nmanned landing, that's okay. Manned? No, I don't think so.

I don't think it's a matter of "can't make it" anymore as much as it is no one wants to.

Nice Moon! Beauty 1703-B!! That majestic image!!
" That's one small step for a Man! One giant leap for mankind "!
A fantastic moment for our species!!!!
The one that me more I appreciate is the sentence written in a plate left at the place of the landing of the ship!
" Here the men of the planet Earth put for the first the feet in the Moon. Julho de 1969. We came in peace on behalf of all the humanity ".
I have a lot of pride of this!

Maybe our generation will witness the first Mars landing. Ant it'll probably be a Chinese one

A Chinese? And why no a Chinese woman??
When us, humanity, we are at Mars, I wait that a woman to step in him surface first.
In the Moon, feminine, the men stepped first! In Mars, masculine, I think that for symmetry, a woman is the correct, on this hour. I simply think that would be very good.
Then we decided when we are Venus!

Hmmm... interesting. The problem would be that women have lesser bone mass than men and microgravity really pots hard strains on the bones. And don't forget Aunt Flo, and that in zero G...
