Why not? We went to the Moon in six years without any background in space exploration.

I volunteer Hillary and Pelosi go first.

Maybe returning to the moon would make more sense than going to Mars.

How about we train a bunch of liberals to go, you know, to save Mars from Martian warming or something.

Moon first- it’ll pay for itself.
And make a Mars trip cheaper and easier.

Trump’s chats with Elon Musk are suddenly much more interesting.

Also on the call from the Oval Office were Ivanka Trump, who spoke about the administration’s efforts to encourage women and girls to get involved in STEM fields, and astronaut Kate Rubins...
Yeah I know everybody loves her.
To me she’s another leftist feminist. A pretty one :)
SEPARATE. SPREAD HATE. GET EM TO VOTE.
Men against women.
Boys against girls.
What against black.
Etc.
HOW ABOUT JUST ####ING TEACHING ALL KIDS THE SAME AND SEE WHO DOES THE BEST?!?!?
Huh Ivanka? Sweety pie?

Should be cheap enough to do.
Not like we have a 20 trillion dollar debt or anything.
I heard obama wanted to go to Uranus.

Just what I was thinking, there is really no purpose for going to Mars other than to say we’ve been there. Plus it’s an insane amount of distance, you’d have to wait until it is in the right position, then pack enough supplies such as food, water for 9 months and that is just one way! Think how much food and water just one person goes through in 9 months. To me it would be a suicide mission unless we found some way to put a person into hibernation.

Got nauseous reading first few lines of intro :)
Did you know that the book “pokes you in the chest” with brutal questions?
I’d like to poke the writer in the face.

You have to think outside of the box and expand the horizons.........
Look what the Wright brothers did for aviation. Look what the first moon landing did for technology that allowed us to even get there and ultimately place a rover on Mars........
You can't focus on the moon, Mars is the next crucial step in ultimate planet exploration and space travel
