""Three MPLMs were built and delivered to NASA and have names chosen by the ASI to denote some of the great talents in Italian history: Leonardo, Raffaello, and Donatello. It's also the names of three of the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so NASAs MPLM Group designed a logo with a ninja turtle in an astronaut flight suit." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... ..." - Robert Goodwin

"In my opinion, the whole purpose of going into space should be human settlement of the solar system. This is just a step backwards. If we're not willing to go the distance and spend the required funds, maybe we should just give up human spaceflight and leave it to the Chinese." - Robert Goodwin

"How is it a spam tool? I only see posts from the people I choose to follow!" - Robert Goodwin

"Every U.S. citizen should take the time to read our Constitution. Most of the laws passed by the federal govt are technically unconstitutional under the 10th amendment. Empower yourself... read the Constitution: http://www.law.cornell.edu/constit... ..." - Robert Goodwin

"I was against the name at first, but it would probably be a good PR move on NASA's part. Why not?" - Robert Goodwin

"I totally understand the argument set forth in this article. However, Leo's constant complaints seem to be based more on the TWiT vs Twitter name thing, which makes his argument seem petty in my opinion." - Robert Goodwin

"That's one helluva machine." - Robert Goodwin

"I started with Prodigy, then moved to Compuserve." - Robert Goodwin

"I was a CompuServe user. Remember the login ids? I think it was 5 numeric digits, followed by a comma, followed by 4 more numeric digits. Good times...." - Robert Goodwin

"Agreed. Very interesting article. Dr. Multhaup makes very good points. We did the "really big show" with Apollo. Now is the time for a slower, more methodical exploration and colonization of our solar system. It is indeed our destiny as a sentient species. Like Konstantin Tsiolkovsky said, "Earth is the cradle of humanity, but mankind cannot stay in the cradle forever."" - Robert Goodwin

"The problem with this commentary is that the writer assumes that the only reason for manned space exploration is the "experience". Actually, there is one very good reason that the human species will HAVE to leave our solar system. Our star Sol has an expiration date. We either migrate, or we eventually become extinct. Assuming, of course, that we can survive any number of other risks that could cause our extinction over the next few billion years. We have to stop thinking of human spaceflight as an experience. The ultimate goal should be a truly spacefaring species spread throughout the galaxy." - Robert Goodwin

"I wonder what this means for Ares? Will a retired Air Force general be more likely to support the use of Atlas or Delta to launch Orion?" - Robert Goodwin

"Interesting rock formation, if that what we're talking about. In other news, I saw a fluffy white bunny in the sky yesterday." - Robert Goodwin

"Um... I don't get it. Why the morbid fascination with NASA recycling pee? The news media is just so obsessed with this, like they've never heard of recycling urine. What do you think happens to your urine here on Earth? It get's recycled by your local waste water treatment plant." - Robert Goodwin

"Why are they at ARC? Is Ames in charge of the Messenger mission? I just assumed JPL was doing it." - Robert Goodwin

"Big mistake! Just leave it alone, Lucas." - Robert Goodwin

"I think this was directly related to Russia's invasion of Georgia. My Netflix shipments do come from Duluth, Georgia. And now Netflix is reporting that the problem is corrected... at the same time that Georgia signs a ceasefire agreement. Coincidence? I think not." - Robert Goodwin

"Okay, first of all, "World" is misspelled as "Wrold" in the blog title. Second of all, it's a freakin' blog! FAIL!" - Robert Goodwin

"Some of this episode was shot here at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville. Looking forward to it!" - Robert Goodwin

"It's nice to see a more realistic look at the future of the ISS. The Washington Post op-ed piece was just uninformed jibberish." - Robert Goodwin

"I had the same reaction, and was just about to post the same comment." - Robert Goodwin

"What a freakin' coward! He was sentenced to 21 months in prison, but decided to kill his family instead." - Robert Goodwin

"NOT a NASA idea. It's the Washington Post's lamebrain idea." - Robert Goodwin

"As far as I can tell, nothing has changed since the initial announcement last year. I'm not sure why CNN suddenly decided to run an article about it." - Robert Goodwin

"The title here is very misleading (confirmed?). But the article itself is worth a digg." - Robert Goodwin

"It's a CGI simulation of the Ares-1X test flight, which is currently scheduled for April 2009." - Robert Goodwin
