NASA Just Lost Buzz Aldrin on SLS and The #JourneyToMars

Buzz Aldrin says NASA is going about Mars exploration the wrong way, Ars Technica

"In his remarks, Aldrin said NASA should change the approach it has had in place since the 1960s, that of designing and managing development of its own rockets. He took direct aim at the SLS vehicle, which he reminded listeners was based on 1970s technology and the space shuttle rather than more modern concepts. "It competes with the private sector," Aldrin said. "I thought most of us were in the process of learning that the government shouldn't do that."

Only specific thing @TheRealBuzz mentioned for @NASA_SLS to do is carry fuel into space until something cheaper comes along #H2M #H2M2016 — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) May 17, 2016

Now @ThRealBuzz is mixing and matching various companies and products to build a Mars cycler #H2M #H2M2016 — NASA Watch (@NASAWatch) May 17, 2016
