Space Forum / Shuttle / July 2004Pittsburgh poll on return to moon
On KQV radio and website, running about 75% against it. I seriously doubt it will become reality although I would love to see us return to the moon! HAVE A GREAT DAY! > On KQV radio and website, running about 75% against it. > > I seriously doubt it will become reality although I would love to see us return > to the moon! > HAVE A GREAT DAY! Not even close to a scientific poll. The respondents all listen to the same radio station, which makes it a biased sample. >! > >Not even close to a scientific poll. The respondents all listen to the >same radio station, which makes it a biased sample. it was also on their website. the numbers appear to matchmy random sampling question of everyoner I know... Do you support NASA scrapping other projects to focus its mission on returning to the Moon? Yes: 221....26% No: 623.....74% Total: 844....100% HAVE A GREAT DAY! > >! > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > No: 623.....74% > Total: 844....100% Still not a scientific poll.

Perhaps Kerry has done some real scientific polling to support this belief, perhaps not.

How many and which projects are being proposed for the scrap heap? As worded, I would certainly respond "No", because I don't think the unmanned planetary probes should be scrapped, nor do I believe the moon should be the only focus of NASA's mission. How would the answers change if they worded the question "Do you support NASA sending people to the moon as one part of a broad plan for increased human spaceflight?" --Rich >> >! >> > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >NASA sending people to the moon as one part of a broad plan for increased >human spaceflight?" But that isn't going to happen. Unmanned probes _are_ going to be cancelled or curtailed. If the new manned program actually goes ahead it will go over budget, and irreplaceable missions will be lost as happened with Halley and the International Solar Polar Mission.
