huh. same should go for the workings of FunnyJunk

in this case it is more of a "Don't reinvent the circle"

ofc we should always look for better methods etc.. but since there arent any new ground breaking ideas in the space shuttle design it has so far no changed

Fair enough, all I was saying is that the whole concept of if it's broke don't fix it is a different thing. What you are saying is that they tried but couldn't make significant improvements, so they left the shuttle. What the guy I replied to implied was it worked, why bother even trying.

....

What's wrong with my comment, the whole concept on improving on worker models to make them better or the phasing out of the shuttle. I have a link to a news article: www.ibtimes.com/articles/146374/20110516/nasa-endeavor-space-shuttle-spac e-adventures-soyuz.htm

It was the first on the list in google.

What's wrong with looking for ways to improve technology. If the current technology works, that's fine but if you can find ways to improve said technology to make it more accessible around the world. People didn't need electricity, there was nothing wrong with candles, but electric light was better. Science isn't about why, it's about why not. So that's why money is spent on new ways to make more efficient vacuum cleaners for example or better definition tvs, even though the ones that we currently have are good, we can have better, so why not aim to achieve that?

everyone is a tard..

The outside of the shuttle is fine. It's not called progressing, it's called being content with a good design.

If that makes any sense.

Yeah I meant that they were getting a new design, as I said to someone else, which involved a massive increase in fuel efficiency, because it takes a lot of fuel to get up to space. That's what I read in a magazine, or think I read and made up, I don't know I just have this idea.

Lol, alright. No problem man.

I don't know why people are disagreeing with you because you make so much sense. I'm not sure about the shuttle being phased out but of course technology is going to advance even if it already works.

Meh I've got a couple thumbs stocked up, account since 09. But whatever, I probably wasn't clear enough. The whole shuttle thing was something I read, perhaps in BBCs focus but not sure, but the rest was alright I think

It's because some FJers thumb down people without even seeing the actual comment.

"OOOOH this guy has -50 thumbs!! LET ME THUMB HIM DOWN SO I CAN BE COOL LIKE THEM."

The whole point of this shuttle is to bring satelite into orbite, they changed the parts that needed some upgrade but there there is no need to redesign and rebuilt a new shuttle if this one is still efficient.

eurofag here my grammar sucks sry about that

Yeah but they're changing it, made a partnership with Soyuz, the Russian space program, to be able to send private individuals into space such as University professors, Scientists and Rich arabs.

Don't worry about grammar, I live in Europe, I've seen a lot worse.
