The Moon is a goal??? Errr, we went there 30 years ago. Some itsy bitsy, uninspiring goals you've got there.

You want me to name the newer, better space telescopes. OK.
Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Chandra X-Ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope. That should be enough for the star watchers to play with. On to Mars!!!!!!

Lunar base observatories, radio telescopes, optical telescopes, resources. etc. Not tiny goals at all.

Flapdoodle. None do what Hubble does. Why deny an entire two space born bands? What a loss. Sigh.

You go there or you go nowhere. A lot less flash with the limited cash but a long way toward getting a spacefaring structure in place. The Mars is a goal down the road.
