Wishful thinking. The United States will not return to the Moon for at least 35-50 years, if ever. We will not go to Mars. Ever
This is assuming democrats complete their attempt at absolute control of the United States and rename us the United Socialist States of Amerika.
Forever is a long time. And I did say that a Cold War-like competition with China was the ONLY way that I could foresee us going to Mars. Right now I don't see the competition with China developing along the same lines. The Chinese seem to be much more "indirect" than the Soviets were, so we are being boiled like the proverbial frog.
