Maybe even have a space force military parade on the moon to demonstrate our prowess.

Buss Aldrin will be 94. Are they sure that's a good idea?

I hope they unfurl a Trump flag and leave it there.

Why the Moon?

How about prioritizing and build THE WALL first.

“How about a border wall first”?

Because the Wall will be completed way before 2028.

But I get your point and agree.

The US hasn’t launched an astronaut in, what 8 years? If we are going to return men to the surface of the moon in 5 years, I know some programs that are really going to have to step up the pace. The Orion crew vehicle has only flown once two years ago and wont fly again until ???, and even then its next mission is still unmanned. That’s like the equivalent of the Apollo command module. We have nothing but paper design of a lunar lander.

Space is expensive and risky, but for Pete’s sake, get serious or get off the pot.

While astronauts going to the moon is interesting in general, astronauts coming back from the moon alive is of great interest to them and their families.

Agreed. It’s like they are just making stuff up now because whenever the Administration orders something, nothing ever happens. They should just promise everyone a pony.

That would be more corrosive and dangerous than Hydrazine!
