It's a lot of money to spend with a long time before you see any return (with the exception of technological spin-offs). Life , after spending billions of years to get to this point , can afford to wait a bit longer. As for me I'm in much more of a hurry to see a follow up of this historic achievement by seeing mankind return to the moon and staying there.

I'm in much more of a hurry to see a follow up of this historic achievement by seeing mankind return to the moon and staying there.I am 63, so I know now that it will not happen in my lifetime, but when I was 15, watching that first step on the moon while sitting in the living room at noontime (it was in Japan) just as the landlord came for an invited lunch, I knew then that we belonged there, and would certainly be building outposts if not colonies there by the time I was, well, 63. It is one of my greatest disappointments in my country that it is not so, but if it took 100 years from Columbus to Roanoke, maybe it will take 100 years from Apollo XI to the inhabited moon base.

On July 20 , 1969 , Neil Armstrong made a small step for a man...I fixed your historical misrepresentation. Yes, I understand that the way you stated it is the revisionist version that comports with modern PC acceptabilities, but it is historically inaccurate.

No TV or radio in my rural Alaska hometown. I read about it a few days later when the newspaper arrived on the next flight.
