Revive Australia's space program Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/revive-australias-space-program.html Online petition signatures en-us Thu, 9 Apr 2026 05:51 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr Anonymous [Signature #111] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/19631413?utm_medium=rss Mon, 25 Jan 2016 10:45:15 UTC 19631413 Mr Christopher Andrews [Signature #110] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13346409?utm_medium=rss There is only so long we can keep using other countries satellites for example, NASA could turn off our GPS at any moment if they wanted to. For the same price of building a new shopping mall, we could have our own space agency. And I am not talking about big NASA type agencies, I am talking about a nuts and bolts approach like that of Spacex, stripped of all the unnecessary bureaucratic tendencies.

It is funny how our politicians complain about "brain drain" but they really are not doing anything about it. They wonder why our most skilled scientists and engineers are emigrating.

And lets put aside the "we have too many problems" excuse, this does not fly. We are never going to solve all our problems in Australia, let alone the world, if we keep using this as an excuse we are basically copping out on progress. Australia used to be a nation that challenged the boundaries, but now a days you will find more excuses and reasons as to why we CANT do something then finding ways we could do something; we have lost our pioneering spirit.

It will create more jobs, make the most of the nation's intelligent minds, increase the level of new developments in technology, prevent jobs from going overseas (aerospace and astronautics) as well as improve Australia's well being through research and experiments done in microgravity and generally, space!

The Australian Government should allow the "Go" for launch.

For that, the Australian Government MUST lead in all possible areas. In a period where the confidence of other superpowers are waning, this is Australia's opportunity to rise from the obscure shadows. Australia will shine alongside other nations like China and India. Australia must be on par with them.

Unless it's too expensive, or there are bigger priorities. This could end up boosting innovation and technology and put the country at the forefront of space exploration. I'm not sure what other positives or negatives would result, but I still don't think it's a bad idea.

I personally think we need to focus more on 'lease & laboratory infrastructure' for our space program as this is where the ROI (return on investment) exists. Maybe a 'Space Port' & 'Hypersonic Tunnel Laboratory' could be leased out to overseas interests for revenue and keep us voters happy.

Given that it took around 3 billion years for life to make a start on earth, we need to locate potential life freindly planets outside of our solar system with a life expectancy greater than ours. We then need to seed these planets with bacteria (genetically modified if necessary). Life and evolution should do the rest of the job for us. We must put the guns down and focus on the survival of life not its destruction.
