Going where private enterprise has never gone before.
It's a good thing.

But don't be entirely taken in by the good vibes—Moon Express admits that it's going to explore the area around the South pole for minerals and water while it's at it, too. WTF does THAT mean? So using technology for finding mineral resources is evil? Don't spoil my "vibe", dude!

Will they have to put it on the dark side of the moon ? No, they're planning on putting it at the south pole of the moon, where the temperature is more stable.

The downfall of America was finalized the day we abandoned the Moon.
Have the treaties illegalizing the exploitation of the Moon ever been repudiated?

The downfall of America was finalized the day we abandoned the Moon. We've had a lot of dark turning points, but I agree, that was one of the biggies.
Who would have ever thought Americans would have to hitch a ride to space with the Russians??

explore the area around the South pole for minerals and water Don't worry. They will undoubtedly find a snail darter or some kind of owl and have to cancel the whole thing. It always works out that way.

I think it’s a great idea.
I haven’t looked at a “map” of our solar system and it’s place in our Galaxy in some time, but I suspect this observation platform will provide views of the Universe that we have never seen.
