    Nah, the real reason is that the original 'Moon-landings' were a hoax.
    One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

        Going about things as they are doing now, a permanent moon base will be too expensive to maintain. We'll have to see if the private sector can make this a reality.
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

            Yeah, they claim that they'll be doing a manned mission to Mars, build a new shuttle, continue launch rovers, and maintain the current launch schedule. Did I miss anything? Oh, yeah continue operating the space station with other nations.

            It's all a bunch of worthless talk until someone ponies up the cash.

                Will it be called "McMoonbase" or "Moon-Mart"?

                Or should we just sell the naming rights? Imagine the frisson our austronauts will feen every time they land on the Altria Group Inc Moon Base.

                  McMoonBase > Funding slashed and no moonbase at all.

                          It's amazing some of the naming rights deals that are going on. Some are almost lucrative enough to pay for the stadiums.

                              So then on full moons I get to hear, "There's a full moon out tonight. And this full moon is brought to you by Pfizer... makers of anti-moon sickness pills. may cause heart attack, stroke, or brain aneurysm".

                              To us, it is the BEAST.

                                when will we get moon cities? That's what I'm waiting for. With moon cities comes moon brothels. Who hasn't thought about banging some cheap whore in very light gravity conditions? It's not 0 G, but close enough.
