Let some other country go pick up rocks on the moon for billions apiece. I have a beach nearby, where for the price of a tank of gas, I can do the same.

Science is great, and all, but the moon is not the frontier for the application of marginal cash, IMHO.

I’d rather mine the moon. All those minerals. All that Tritium. No EPA. Free power from sunlight, and no clouds.

There’s PROFIT to be made in the High Frontier. . .

I agree. Inter-planetary manned space flight is a waste of time. Mars’ weak magnetic core prevents any long-term colonization, and that’s the only viable option. So, why bother?
