The Moon??? That’s so 70’s...BORING!
Been there, done that, nothing there.

I think Fred ought to come out tomorrow and call for sending a man to Mars.
That would really be exciting!

Within a decade or two, the Chinese will be there. To stay - on a permanently manned base. So will the Russians, the Indians, and a bunch of other nations. So will we - even if there were nothing there, we wouldn't let the Chinese and the others claim that nothing for themselves.

I hope all the candidates will be serious about funding a manned expedition to Mars, but Mars is a long ways away and the Moon is right here, with conceivable military potential and a much shallower gravity well than Earth to launch Mars missions.
