Its not a heave ho one step process to extract them or put them to tangible use, it is something that over a course of a decade or two would be completed in baby steps. once we have a colony infrastructure and an established space workforce, then it will blast off at the speed of light.

"There's only one reason to return to the Moon, and that's to claim it as American territory and construct an American flag so large that every jihadi on Earth can see it."

And that would be a great idea! Then again, it could be so they could actually put our flag on the moon!... : ) <<< me

"I support going to the moon and using it as a stationary observation platform (imagine a ground-based Hubbell Space Telescope with a self-sustaning orbit) and used as a waystation for manned missions to Mars,"

I would love to have a self-sustaning telescope on the moon!

I just wounder why we never here, (At least I haven't seen)anything more about the mars rovers?

Did the little martians take them for a joy ride and not bring them back?... : ) <<< me

Thanks! Doesn't give me all I want, but it is a lot more than I have seen in a while.
P.S. That manager Emily Eelkema is one hottie!... : ) <<< me
