"What should our national goal be?"

Our national goal should simply be the aggregate of the individual goals of the citizens.

Our government's goal should be to protect the liberties of individuals, and nothing more.

Don't ask for me to pay for your "exhiliration" and don't ask for my support to glorify government with a grandly entertaining circus.

(The only reason going to the moon required men was that computers were too primitive to do the job. No longer the case. You can get all the exhiliration you want my sending automated IMAX cameras to Mars, if you insist, for a minuscule fraction of the cost.)

The IMAX® film format is so large that the film canisters in the IMAX® camera can only hold 3 minutes of film at a time. This means you can shoot a scene for three minutes and then you have to stop and reload the camera. Reloading the camera takes 3 people, approximately 30 minutes.

What I meant to post but neglected to, was that you'd need to send a lot more than 1 camera already loaded.
