A lot of advances came out of the space program we had.
Maybe another real space program?

The Moon is a rough neighborhood. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

I have read that 20 to 25 percent of Americans do not believe the lunar landings ever occurred.
The mission can accomplish 2 things. One, refute the BS and two, totally shift the theory to accommodate the “adjusted” stance. Both will be interestingly humorous to observe.

I bought his book to see what he found. It was a pretty long technical report, backed by his experience in the field of geography. I slogged through the book but found nothing that would warrant going back to the Moon ever again! One geologists traveling a few miles in the rover might have missed a few things.

I’m all for that.
The work creating the last one spread around the planet.

Let private industry handle it.
NASA should be at best a minor advisory role if any.

If that happens, remind me to stay away from Cheyenne Mountain.

He who holds the high ground has the advantage in any battle.
Our enemies are going, we have been there. We need to return and stay.

“If I were Trump I would offer these guys a few million bucks to put a Trump 2020 bumper sticker on the Moon Buggy and a Webcam that transmits 24/7 just to watch the Liberals heads explode!”
Do it with a Trump 2016 sticker then deny you went near the buggy. Say it had to be the Russians.

Our enemies don’t have the same opinion. It has been well noted that the technologies developed for the space exploration efforts have more than paid for the accumulated costs of the moon landing, many times over.

The Moon is a rough neighborhood. When they roll up to that Apollo buggy they may find it up on blocks and stripped. Freakin' Selenites. I wonder how Professor Cavor is faring?

How do they plan to inspect for “micro-meteorites” on the old Apollo gear if they can’t get closer than 200meters away? Is it just me, or does something sound stupid here?
To: Scooter100
I think the article is taken from a concept briefing note.
Full of ideas...
