Let me understand this. The US, China and Japan are all planning moon missions. Why not the Euros and/or the Russkies?http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable to magic.At least the fantasy genre has the decency to call magic magic.

Cheap hos can't afford travelling to moon.Originally posted by Dis
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.

Hey, if you want the US Government to do something you have to ask it in a way that will motivate them.Originally posted by Oerdin
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.
So refer to the Moon and Mars missions as off planet
"regime building" if you want to make sure the US actually goes there.

Reality check:
The cost of launching one pound of whatever out of the pull of Earth's gravity = $1,000.
The cost of launching, say, the U.S.'s 2.3 million prisoners on their way to our new moon prison = $4,600,000,000,000. Now, if you want to feed, cloth, house and guard them, it'll be more.Comment

Orders of magnitude make a huge difference in the possible versus fantasy.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, 1891Comment

Another thing you may not be aware of is that Reagan is already there.
He's proceding on Star Wars, just like he wanted.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
