I think its incredible and i would go like to the moon.
Alright there's nothing there, but the view and maybe a few bits of old spacecraft.
That buggy must still be there.

Good point Felicia! Here is a link showing benefits to medical science derived from technology that came about during the Apollo program.Quote:

Thanks Cueball, that site really sinks the eight ball on the break! :)
MDS, Capricorn One starred OJ and James Brolin( who later married Barbara Streisand). Coincidence???? LOL

Why going to the Moon? Just a place full of dust and rocks, ... lot of dust. Is there any T-girl around?
But, why CC has gone to America 500 years ago? Why our african ancestors have invaded the whole planet, some 1000's years ago? Why shouldn't we extend our vacation trip to the Mare Serenitatis Hilton?
The Geek in my wants to see more Star Treky stuff happen one day :mrgreen: Earth's too boring right now. :P
And the only people who believe the moon landing was fake are guys like him. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...8/img-imga.jpg
All right, all right already! We'll all go to the damn moon. We could fill one of the smaller craters with champaign and have a Lunar Luau.
Felicia is, once again, correct. . . and my bitter rant was left behind in the dust.
Foiled again. . .
:?
But I get to drive the moon buggy.
If you are interested, have a look into www.astronautics.com
Sorry, it was www.astronautix.com
i'd very much like to see us on the moon again. Colonization of Mars and all the rest is on my list of these i'd like to see and probably never will. but what i most regret right now is that the nasa is funding the astronautics program at the expense of basic science. just this month nasa announced the diversion of funds promised to basic science missions (robotic telescopes, spectrometers, particle counters etc.) to the manned missions. it was only because of persistant protests of scientists and the interested public that the hubble space telescope wasn't scraped this year. the robotic missions give us the most "umpf" for our dollar. last week the cassini probe discover hot water geysers on a moon of saturn! because of the war in iraq congress agreed to raise our debt cieling to 9 trillion dollars. instead of wasting lives, eroding our democracy, plunging iraq into civil war and bring the middle east to the brink of instability that money could and should have been applied toward a national heath care program, and our coming social security bottleneck. there would have been plenty left over to spend on space research, both manned and unmanned.
Especially for you Us girls and guys, you can visit Keith Cowing sites, the straight www.spaceref.com and the more personal www.nasawatch.com. You will learn how your money is used by your favorite space agency (the "S" in NASA).
Being European myself, I would be delighted if an esawatch website could pinpoint all the waste of money, waste of time and effort, zigzag strategies and other kinds of silly things that are performed by the European Space Agency. It's definitly not a way of European people to react at it.
I remember, 15 years ago, when in vacation in Pacific Islands, that a lot of people here, met in bars or at beach on apparently isolated and retarded island, were surprisingly interested in space matters and proud of the Ariane, European launcher, performances.
Apparently, nobody cares any more or only the politicians don't care, because they think nobody cares, from poll standpoint. Is the dream already dead?
PS. I don't think that any T-girls are there ...
