Why Don't We Explore Space More? | Ask Peter | Google Lunar XPRIZE

Why haven't we gone back to the Moon yet...or sent people to Mars sooner? Why did space exploration slow down? Futurist Peter Diamandis answers---with a ray of hope for change!

Do you have any questions about going back to the Moon, 'newspace' companies (like Virgin Galactic & SpaceX), or XPRIZE? Comment below with #AskPeter to ask XPRIZE Founder Peter Diamandis anything!

Do you think the preoccupation of Mars many people have is blinding them to all that we could do easier - and sooner - on the moon or asteroids?

[PaddyPatrone]

When will finally someone in the competition launch it`s stuff to the moon?

#AskPeter
As rightly suggested by some, a breakthrough in space technology by a private player would be impetus enough to drive space exploration to the farthest reaches of the system, and allow utilization of resources in 'as yet unheard of' ways and profitability. But is this something we can see only in increments and in terms of the applications private players put to use existing technology pioneered by the Govt establishments in the past?

Is anyone (Bigelow Aerospace seems like one) likely to innovate in a huge way and just pull everyone along to space? Which are the technology areas that need a big push to get private space companies into a zone of their own?

[paridebiasuzzi]

Which one is the best technology we have or we are developing for going to Mars and deep space? Do you think it could be useful to invest in engines able to expanding and contracting spacetime? Are there any other options to reach high speeds?
Thanks!!

What about the development in latinamerica and other countrys of the third world?

[MrEmoImo]

Besides the Moon and Mars, where else should we go?

[lilleaha]

whey is it so difficult to get back form space

[KlaasKaatindergoogle]

Visionary entrepreneurs yield innovation, but where is the plan to engage the People who invest everything? >> (Tesla - Electric Cars) to (Every Car Company - Break in Economic Trend). (Xprize - ???) to (Human Race - Spacefaring Society).
Which resources can be found that trigger a Space Race?

The easy way to eliminate gravity just spinning #FeelFree

There is two kinds of vehicle what was ingeneraly used by human being in the life history in the world, there is: using momentumforce like animal, car, airoplane or ship: The other using centrifugalforce like flying saucer. The concerned animal is horse, camel, donkey, etcetera. And the flying obyect is all kinds of vehicle realized byhuman being technology included flying saucer.


Earth which weight predict 600 trillion ton does not fall at theSun because of centrifugal in orbitting, on the contrary it does not be thrownfar go out the orbit line of hold by gravity at the Sun as orbit center.Gravity and centrifugal is equal called Equillibrium, thats why until now Earthwhich we was inhabited always rotate and circulate the Sun. Now we justly takeexample : how if the gravity used andcentrifugal is negated? The Earth will float far leave the Sun. So thatcentrifugal can be used to fly far away if gravity eliminated. Finally how to eliminate gravity?


It’s way rotate part of aircraft byhorizontal. When that rotation faster centrifugal force getting greater and thegravity getting smaller, finally it lose the gravity and the aircraft startflying. Of course people would surprise: how the aircraft can keep rotatewithout fulcrums? Thats why we named that aircraft Shuttling System that isaircraft likes two disc adjoining attached in the midle as fulcrums:


A. The Top part, we name Positive rotate toright, and the edges is getting thicker and havier.
B. The Buttom part, we name Negative rotating toleft, and the edges is getting thicker and havier.
C. Middle Part, we name Neutral, air crewplaced and also machine and everythings turning Negative and Positive at thesame time.


The aircraft can liftup added with explosion from the engine. However thataircraft construction later, let the engineer doit it, and we are sure theaircraft will bulletproof and also waterproof.

feature this: why it take to long to go to mars. don`t we have the technology to do it now.
