While I agree a mission to "explore" the moon is pointless. What additional data can be found there? A high bandwidth, high power communications station would be nice.

NASA needs to be outsourced to private corporations, that can work freely of all the government red tape. Our space program is decades behind. Imagine what Rutan, or some of the other private individual organizations could do if they have half the funding NASA has.

Hard to answer that question, considering we haven’t explored enough of it to answer.

“NASA needs to be outsourced to private corporations, that can work freely of all the government red tape”

What private corporation anywhere in the US can “work freely of all the government red tape”?

“Imagine what Rutan, or some of the other private individual organizations could do if they have half the funding NASA has.”

Where do you propose the money to fund them will come from? Where do you think most of the money NASA gets goes? Private coporations, just not only small outfits like Burt’s.
