Our return?
At this rate the Russians will beat us.
Biggest impediment to America’s success in anything is the government run by Democrats.
During President Trump’s administration, SpaceX would test various parts of the Starship program almost once a month. Many times they ‘tested to failure’ to find out the limits of materials, equipment, etc. The Hussein/Biden Regime has refused to let SpaceX proceed. They were ready last August for the next Starship test launch. The government is not just slow walking, they are creating more and more barriers. After one part of the government finished their investigation, Fish & Wildlife “began” their review in early October. The Chicoms are probably funneling more $$$ to Hussein and Biden as long as they continue to hinder SpaceX.
WHO CARES???????
Let them go to the moon and set up a lovely community.
Let the Chinese spend bi!lions to go to the moon. Rocks and dust and no air and no other resources worth the cost of getting them.
NASA, just like the rest of this gooberment, couldn’t organize a piss up in a pub. What is more the failure would set records for cost.
Not if NASA fires a busload of Indian “refugees” at the backside of the moon to repair their first lander.
Let ‘em. The moon ain’t goin’ anywhere. Knock yourselves out, ChiComs.
There are craters where the sun is never seen from their bottom. This is the place where ice has been collecting for millions of years. It is that ice which could used as fuel for missions all over the solar system, as well as for all the other uses people need water for. That is why it is important not to let China stake a claim before America does. It is probably the most important real estate in the Solar System that nobody has yet.
When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you. . . you may know that your society is doomed.”

Is there at least one reason why we need to return to the Moon? Or anywhere else outside of the Earth atmosphere…
Gotta keep the trannies and muslims happy at NASA before we do anything like go back to the moon.
We’ve never sent a man to the moon. We can’t get a man through the Van Allen belts.
I do think it would be good to return to the moon but who cares if China “beats” us? We’ve already beat them. My aim would be to do something new. Don’t repeat what’s already been done. Instead of using humans I would send robots to build infrastructure.
