They named it Orion? Shame on them. We should build the original Orion as Dyson and Taylor saw it.

...through Sept. 7, 2019 Fifty years after our first manned landing on the moon.
Not five, ten, twenty-five or even forty years later. FIFTY YEARS!

I think this is the contract that my daughter's company will be working on. I just talked with her and she asked if I were watching the NASA channel that they were talking about it. I know her dad would be so proud of her and the others who work there.

Fifty years after our first manned landing on the moon.An inexcuseable lack of leadership if I ever saw one. The moon should be colonized by now.

But will it have phasers? Will it have female crew? With what kind of uniforms?
I mean, if you're gonna go Trekkie, that's the question to ask.
Shalom.

I completely agree. I'd even say we should have moved on from there by now. Maybe by 2069. Perhaps someone with some stones will come along by the time my great great great grandkids are in their teens.

The moon should be colonized by now. If Congress and the American public were willing to pay for it, it would be.

The moon should be colonized by now. If anybody knew how to market it, there would at least be a hotel there by now.
No, not adventure. Not excitement. Low G sex.
That's how to get Americans to go.
Shalom.

I should add, "Or if someone can find a profitable reason to be there."
