It took an incredible amount of resources and ingenuity to get to the moon — going to Mars would be orders of magnitude tougher. I don’t know if we would “have a base on Mars by now,” but our space program would certainly be in much better shape than it is!

Think about this. Its been a quarter of a century, no wait, its been longer. A third of a century since we put man on the moon. Our ability to calculate things has increased from nobody having a computer in their home, to people having computers in their portable phones, which of course are smaller than ones wallet.

What type of magnitude of increase would you say that is? I my opinion if we had pushed ahead, those phones would be even smaller and more powerful now.

But of course with a left wing extremist in the White House, feeding the poor by raping the rich is more important.

Until you don't have anymore rich.
