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!

The downfall of America was finalized the day we abandoned the Moon.

Have the treaties illegalizing the exploitation of the Moon ever been repudiated?

Sounds pretty cool to me.

God knows we can’t depend on NASA for anything innovative that doesn’t cost taxpayers ~$40 Billion . . . . . . . . and, that’s just to give it a name!!

I have to plead ignorance here. How does one “SEE” anything through a dish antenna? I guess if one can be happy watching squiggly lines on an oscilloscope it might be exciting, a la, Jodie Foster in the flick, “CONTACT.” But a 2 meter dish is NOT a telescope wherewith one can VIEW anything. What am I missing here?

Obama will steal the idea to spy on Earth.
