we are a nation of explorers. We would not even be here if it were not so. Boondoogle NOT. We have always looked to the horizon. We owe it to those before us who took those risks and payed the price. We are obligated to those yet unborn to do our share. America MUST lead. Never follow. Always stretching out and taking those risks. Its what we are. So dont give me that boodoggle garbage. We are Americans. Those are OUR flags on the Moon. And we are going back before anyone else.
Nah, the "in" thing for both conservatives and liberals is to sit on our fat butts on earth until we self-destruct. Or until China does it first and screws us over.

We got a bunch of rocks and a movie where Forest Gump pilots a space projectile a cool dance move for MJ. If the Russkies go to Mars, so be it.
