'The moon is not an intermediate point in the race,' he wrote in official daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta, conjuring an impression of a new space race with America.
'It is a separate, even a self-contained goal.
'It would hardly be rational to make some ten or 20 flights to the moon, and then wind it all up and fly to the Mars or some asteroids.
'This process has the beginning, but has no end. We are coming to the moon forever.'

Not this idiocy again.
A new “space race” boondoggle.
Meanwhile, NASA will make Muslims feel good about themselves.

The United States is still demographically a Christian nation but you'd never know it from observing our government. All you ever read about our government doing these days is supporting regimes which persecute Christians and Christianity, and then you ask whose side you think God might be on?
