NASA is still working on some moon stuff. My son, an astronautical engineer interviewed for a job piloting a satellite that would be surveying the back of the moon as a landing site for an outpost.
He had two interviews the same day and took the other position.
An outpost? I guess the astronomers want it.
There IS gold out in them thar planets...but it would take HUNDREDS of years just to GET there. With the pitiful fuels we have ... we'll just have to LOOK for now.
I seriously doubt it there is time travel or a "di-lithium" crystal that will take us anywhere very soon.
I may be wrong.
