go back to the same goal we had 40 years ago

It won't be the same kiss and run that Apollo was. The goal this time would be to build something more permanent, both in space and on the moon. Not that we missed anything by not being on the moon the past 30 years. Except 30 years of my professional space career.

205 - "The goal this time would be to build something more permanent, both in space and on the moon."

To what end?

Remember the non-militarization of space treaties we signed?

Where are the 'spices' from the 'spice islands' trade, which generated the great explorations from 500 years ago?
