15-20 years from the time we start cleaning up the Nazi Socialist mess we’ve fallen into. Less than that if we just start packing democrats into impact space vehicles aimed at the moon. Then again, do we really want to pollute the moon?

“When Will the Next Moon Landing Be?”

Can we send Barry and Michelle? We can tell them it’s a celebrity roast and he’ll be able to hobnob with all sorts of famous people whio wouldn’t have spit on him if he was on fire 3 years ago.

Yeah, but at least NASA is reaching out to Muslim countries!

Obamah says it is unfair that the moon is White and space-travel will not resume till a Black Hole is found.

An equally intriguing question would be, “What country will be the next to land a person on the moon”?

China.

Ron White joked that Chinese astronauts give a whole new meaning of the word “Tang”.

One can’t say when the next landing will be but
one can say it won’t be by the US, not after Obama.

Anyone who believes that we would have been landing on the moon anytime close to 2019 and anywhere near to the planned budget is kidding themself.

I’m hoping by 2012 when we do a test shot sending BO and company to the moon.. one way of course just to see how many folks we can actually send up at one time for colonization efforts down the road!

Ron White is hysterical. I'd love to have him over for some Scotch.
