We won yesterday's space race. We'll win today's space race against China, and we'll always win tomorrow's space race.
@SpaceX's Starship test flight success moves us one step closer toward achieving that goal.

Many libertarians have long opposed NASA. They say that space should be colonized by private enterprise.

Thanks for that. Gil would have hated me, just because I’m a white boy, but I love his stuff.

Seems unlikely.
India just landed near the pole. China has a landing on the far side.
The US effort had disasters and kept going. It will take about 1 disaster to shut down a program now.

Yes, we definitely need a Moonbase. This was supposed to happen in 1980. It did happen in 1980. I remember seeing lots of people with purple hair.

This type of US mission prevents Chinese territorial claims on the moon Exactly.
The advancements that the Russians made during the space race of the 1960s and 70s motivated the US to go to the moon.
The advancements that the Chinese are making now, will motivate us to go back and set up a base.
We only seem to act when we get nervous that our adversaries are going to outdo us.
It's the American way...

See it from Donald Trump’s young eyes, you saw astronauts on the moon, but Trump saw a guy playing golf, there is room for a golf course up there.

Many short-sighted Luddites posting here tonight.
The moon has a perfect vacuum and gravity is 1/6th that of earth. There are enormous economic and military advantages of colonizing the moon, which explains why Russia, China, and India are all working to get to there. The sooner we get there, the better.

Don't Touch the Moon Don't touch the moon
I need it for loving.
Don't touch the stars,
I need them, too.
All you frantic scientists,
Find something else to do!

“Return”. Yeah, return. That’s it.

What’s on the moon? Location. It’s the ideal place for a base to launch larger and a greater number of space missions for your robots.

That was great. I’m pretty sure I have never heard that song before.
