Sounds good to me!
Nothing up there but a lot of sterile rock and rock dust anyway.
Time to defund NASA and put our tax dollars to better use.
If some private-sector lunatic (pun intended) wants to pi$$ away their money going to the moon, that's they're choice.

When it comes to outer space, no one is more out there than the Libertarian party:

National Platform of the Libertarian Party
Adopted in Convention, July 2000,
Anaheim, CA

IV. FOREIGN AFFAIRS
International Relations
Space Exploration

We oppose all government restrictions upon voluntary peaceful use of outer space. We condemn all international attempts to prevent or limit private exploration, industrialization, and colonization of the moon, planets, asteroids, satellite orbits, Lagrange libration points, or any other extra-terrestrial resources. We repudiate the principles contained in the U.N. Moon Treaty. We support the privatization of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
