Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Orion space launch Wednesday for my fellow space nerds
Just want to let my fellow space nerds know, the Orion spacecraft test launch will be Wednesday. Once they get it going I was curious, who on this forum would actually want to go on it? I think it would be cool to actually be on itand go to Mars, what is your opinion?
Thats a LONGGGG flight, and one way at that! I'd go.
I would be down for it as well, lots of interesting stuff up there
I'm staying on this rock. There are no gun stores on Mars.
Tempting but I don't fly, so will stay on Terra firma.
No thanks. I love space and all that jazz (I work in the space industry), but that would be a really long, lonely, and personally unfulfilling trip. I'd rather enjoy life here with my family and not worry about dying alone on a distant planet.Originally Posted by Bunny
Also, for those interested, SpaceflightNow has a launch schedule and details of all planned launches through 2015.

What do you do in the space industry?
USMC 2000-2004, OIF
Satellite stuff.
I work with the AEHF constellation.... Nothing too exciting, but it's a good start.
