Race to the moon paid for most my upbringing.
My parents were employed by companies that
did the deed.
Most my all family also benefited from the race to the moon.
My only criticism is, why did we not occupy and create
a base on the moon to exploit its resources?
Now were at back at it, so we can go to Mars.
My understanding is we explore to find new things
to exploit and use what we find and learn to
improve our lives.
My call would be to make the moon trip a
common event, exploit the moons resources,
and then on to Mars.
