"I want to know what is next, and will we finally bold go where no one has gone before,Yes! or continue to putter around in orbit with that white elephant the International Space Station,No!. We need to decide if space is truly a limit on human endeavor,No! or something we can conquer,Yes!. Is space travel just to expensive,No! and beyond our scientific capability,No! or can the faith of a muster seed take us to the stars?,Yes!"

Two major obstacles stand in our way: The Space Treaty, which prevents private enterprise from going there, (It needs to be repealed!), and a willingness to use Nuclear Engines for propulsion.

Chemical rockets are only good for firecrackers. If we are to go to the Moon, Mars, Titan, and beyond, we will need Nuclear Engines. (And a Profitable reason to go!)
