This will be a lesson for ya. Don’t bring up science, space exploration, astronomy etc. You’ll be mocked and you’ll receive every juvenile stupid quip imaginable.
Btw, I agree with you.
I dont quite understand the automatic disdain for it myself.
Sure, let’s not blow the taxpayer’s dollars on it, but let’s get some real private sector incentive to get first to the Moon at least, which I think is a better goal because too much can go wrong getting to Mars.
It would be a cinch getting remote-controlled equipment to the moon to build a base from the comfort of Earth, and just get people there in less than a week with a small craft.
Surprised it hasn’t been done already.
I knew I would be flamed. No worries. Been here a while. :)
