Someone accurately pointed out that we will make a more established trip this time, setting up at least temporary bases. Okay, well and good. It will be 2020, not 1980.

I am not impressed.

Nor am I. I was 19 in 1969 when we first landed on the moon and I'll be 70 or so during this next excursion.

I was eighteen, and basicly feel that the promise of our future was ripped right out from under us. I wanted to enter space. At one time I thought I might possibly make it to the moon if some kind of a tourism industry were to be launched. Nothing! Very disappointing. It was also a failure to develop a whole new industry of commerce, jobs, services. I can't believe what a pass our space agency took on this.
