But, will he stay there?

Let China and India do the Moon. We’ll take a real planet.

It’s only a paper moon…

Cyber warfare and “electronic” weapons don’t have to be space based, are real, can “backfire”, and so we’re spending tons of money on them. (China does too)

Space is where our imaginations can soar, but we as a species remain grounded, at least in this country, by myths, boogymen, and fear.

There may indeed be real reason why in those hundreds of billions of galaxies, nobody wants to talk to us.

We need experience in both men and equipment before attempting a deep space trip. Beginning pilots are required to make many touch-down landings before they can actually land a plane. Experience is essential and moon trips, while they seem unproductive on the surface, are touch-downs that experience our astronauts and test our equipment.

Al gore and the U.N. will find a way to protest whatever goes on in Space. They’ll screw it up before it can even make money on paper.

^ Spoken like a true imperialist. No wonder China is in a rush to get there, too.
