Re: 50 years since landing on the moon...
And going to the moon has nothing at all to do with landing back on Earth - the margins, especially today, really are not that tight.
The fact remains, landing by parachute is crude, landing in the sea wrecks the kit and the whole concept is the technological equivalent of paddling a log.
It's just a demonstration of how lacking in funding, vision and determination we have been; not that we haven't got more important things to be doing right here on Earth, but then we're not exactly taking looking after this planet very seriously either, are we?
