Sciences on Moon

Actually I was flipping through the TV news channels and saw something about NASA's plans to build a base on the moon. It was on FOX though, so it may well have been complete BS.

NASA and reality are strange bedfellows.

They have lots of plans to do alot of things. What they don't have is the money and the management to get them there. Don't get me wrong, NASA has plenty of management... and that is it's biggest detriment.

Yeah, not to mention that we have huge debts and deficit spending right now. Even though our fearless leader talked about going to Mars and such, my guess is we'll need to get our house in order before we do anything like that. So, maybe we can revisit this thread in 10 years or so? Oh well, I figured it was too good to be true...

Another fearless leader talked about sending men to the moon all the while running up huge deficits of money and blood (60K+ souls). We went to the moon despite his, and his successor's, best efforts.
