I'm going to be around some astronaunts and aerospace engineers tomarrow. Also maybe some astrophysicists. Does anybody have some questions they'd like me to ask? I think it is about the Mars space missions, and the whole moon deal. Although, I think they will be looking for a wide range of questions. Bring em on!

an outline of the hardware, and if ship will be built on Earth or modulised and
assembled in space, what will they do while in transit? what instruments will
be onboard?

Armstrong and Glenn were never in space at the same time, were they?

No, I don't believe so. It was just something my friend persuaded me to say.

Try to bring back an idea of the feelings on the Man in deep space ideas. Is there, currently, a reason to but a man on Mars? What do these guys think of this proposal?
 
So, what happened at the meeting? What questions did you ask?

It was moved to Thursday. I will make a list, however, and post the answers I get on the threads.
