realistic attitude FRiend. I would like to return to space, but realistically as a nation we are bankrupt. This is what Lincoln wanted. A powerful Federal government crushing states rights. Now Uncle Sam is bankrupt, what to do?
The NAACP would go ballistic if Ziltch started talking moon shot.
Ahh, I think what’s missing here Teddy is the thought that this information will compel PRIVATE enterprise to go to the Moon, stake out some real estate, mine the gold and other exotic ores, and basically make a S*&tload of money. Now, in order for any government to stop them, that government would have to have a presence there...but since that gov’t ain’t going there ala NASA, I think it’s a free for all where private enterprise wins. Heck, by the time some government send troops up there to stop them, the PE guys will be on Mars...
