Even if we started today, I doubt we could have a functioning base on the Moon in ten years -- but damnit, we should try.

I hope everyone interested in putting a U.S. flag up on the moon again writes personal checks and sends them to NASA with a memo what it's for. Personally, I can't afford your pipe dreams, I have some debts here on earth to take care of before shoveling more money into the bureaucracy to feel better about the accomplishments of the tribe.

Beats paying taxes for food stamps. Or diversity training. Or abortions.

NASA's budget is less than one half of one percent of the US annual budget. Luddites like you just don't get it.

No problem. You go through your lifestyle, and eject anything that had any help or development from NASA's myriad programs.

Start by shutting down your computer. Then your home appliances; car; office, hospitals, ... the benefits you use every day have some relationship to the science and technology developed and improved by the space community.

Even Luddites have more intelligence than you show.
