"the second half of Trump’s first term: 1. we will return to the moon"

As a child of the 1950's I applaud your exploration schedule. However, it seems somewhat ambitious to say the least.

Returning to the moon in the next four years would require a Herculean effort. It is not impossible but I don't know if NASA is up to the task any more. It has engaged in too much "climate research" and muslim outreach and has lost its purpose.

Yes, the NASA of our youth has been gone for a long time now; even the NASA which kept the space shuttle program going was gutted by the Obama Administration and left bleeding out by the side of the road. The name NASA was stolen to give the current batch of eco-loons credibility that they do not deserve. There is no real relationship. This is not to mention the money being wasted on “Muslim Outreach” PR Campaign which was meant to prop up a bunch of 8th century BS and make it appear that the Muslim culture has some relationship to present day technology. Another theft of the name NASA to give a nonrelated organization credibility... sickening.

Then, I suppose we will need to apply that kind of effort... but what has been done once, or twice, gets easier each time it is invoked. And to be honest, our TEK is far better than THEIRS was... big time.

What we lack is will power and faith to engage the target at point blank range... as fear of failure looms large at the various moments of truth.

It takes a true viking to set off on the uncharted seas without a compass or a map... and one may not always return, but when it succeeds and new discovery and acquisition of new knowledge occurs... it is GLORIOUS... for all of humanity.

if God wills it, we will conceive that desire in our hearts... and that desire placed by the creator of all, to know him and relish in all that he does... will be granted... in due time.

if we don't give up.
