'Why do we want to go to go back to the Moon?' he asked.
'Some nations want to go for prestige to say they are 'first' in space exploration in the 21st century and they want Nasa to compete with them.

I think Space:1999 settled the answer why we should not set up shop on the Moon. We would just eff things up, as us humans usually do... on to Mars!

Just think, if we got Tang and Velcro from the Moon missions, what incredibly amazing consumer product might
we get from mars??????? /s
To: KevinDavis
Well I’d sure like to see much better propulsion. Something that can make even one tenth of light speed would put alpha centauri within a generation.

I have a better idea.
We should focus on issues here on this planet. this country is broke and screwed up so much that it will take a miracle to put us back together.
we have no money to spend on space, sorry Buzz.

Captain Kirk should have a little talkypoo with buzz to explain to him he sounds a little spaced out to people.Maybe Buzz should take a solo mission and report back.

We should focus on issues here on this planet.Investment in space pays back five-fold economically over the years. If not for the early space program, you might be trying to FReep on your brand new 2009 Tandy TRS-80.
