Yes but the moon is so far away for all of that. I suggest that if you start to consider all of the logistics involved for either one of those ventures with our current technologies (especially propulsion) it becomes not doable in the next 30/40 years or so.
“Yes but the moon is so far away for all of that.”
So was the New World in 1492.
“I suggest that if you start to consider all of the logistics involved for either one of those ventures with our current technologies (especially propulsion) it becomes not doable in the next 30/40 years or so.”
And the propulsion tech does exist - a la NERVA, or Orion - it is simpily we do not choose to use it. Other countries may not be so short sighted.
To hard, eh? I can just hear Queen Isabella telling that to Columbus.
