My theory is this is mostly demorcrats, knowing their candidates SUCK on NASA stuff, and WILL cancel return to the moon plans for lots of global warming crap.

Believe me that I am Not a fan of the far-Left Barack Obama but he did say good things about JFK's "Let's Go To The Moon" speech a couple weeks ago.

I don't remember any Republican candidate saying anything about the space program - Moon, Mars, or Asteroids...

Not, BTW, that I actually believe that any modern day Democrat would ever put visionary money into the space program (and get it straightened out and back on course after 35-years of aimless drift...).

Rooty actually made a big statement supporting return to the moon, and against the gap between shuttle and constellation vehicles.

But it’s Rooty. Sigh.

Romney said he saw no reason yet to change the present vision for space exploration. Which of coures is return to the moon stuff.

But Obama has published plans to "delay" trips to the moon/mars.

There is a race on for the moon because it contains huge quantities of H3, that could be a far easier fuel for nuclear fusion reactors to use. Yeah, we have flags all over the front side of the moon, but if we're not there, there's nothing preventing the Chicoms or Russians, both are working hard at moon missions, from just taking it.

The H3 that permiates the dirt on the moon is estimated to be worth 2-3 billion dollars per ton for it's energy.
