Precicely So.
Contrary to Those who believe that we should "KowTow" to economic considerations, or await the Next "Fanciful Technological Breakthroughs," I (& a few others of us) believe that we should "GO FOR IT!!"
We HAVE the "Technology!"
& you Know What??--if "W" Lands a Viable Base on the Moon; the Legacy of his Presidency will be Forever established.
WHATEVER we face over the next few decades, our effort to explore Space will be the Criterion by which our Culture is judged!
We should Go to the Moon NOW,set up a viable Base, & THEN worry about re-supply. ( ALL of This has LONG been established!)
I'm ASKING for "W" to "PULL the Trigger, NOW!!"
I CANNOT IMAGINE a BETTER TIME in our Nation's History for us to take such action!
We NEED a "BOOST!"-- LET's GO To the Moon--NOW!!
Doc
"I CANNOT IMAGINE a BETTER TIME in our Nation's History for us to take such action!"
It is well over due.
Great risks bring great rewards.
These endevours inspire our youth like nothing else can.
You also have the technology to stick the entire population of St. Louis in a plexiglass bubble in the Marianas trench on the bottom of the Pacfic Ocean. Why not do that? It would probably be cheaper, and you could probably conduct some interesting psychological studies.
