this thread shows that NASA is making an effort to return to the moon

i wonder why

i mean so many of you have said how pointless it is to return to the moon

so have the folks at NASA lost sight of reality ?

have they finally let those monkeys they sent up take over ?

[Luziadus]

Maybe they will begin to constroy lunar bases.

[et's daddy]

maybe they will but my point being so many people here have said a return to the moon is pointless

so either they are wrong

or NASA is




wonder who ?

[The Silver Thong]

A few reasons why.

It's alot of cash but I would like to see it happen "again"   As for the money NASA needs more cooperation and funding from outside agencies/countries.

I think this is just a cry for more of are tax dollars!

[IgnoranceIsntBliss]

Yes NASA has lost their minds:

But to address the moon issue:
We MUST, and fast! China intends to establish the first moon base. We must get there first, or immediately afterwards. A whole new era of colonilization will occur, on top of everything else happening aroung that time.

Firstly its "our" tax money and even though Bush`s grand space plan has become legislation it doesn`t gurantee that Nasa wll recieve the funding they requite to be successful. Nasa barely recieves enough funding to function as an agency and carry out all its missions in th efirst place. If you really want to whinge about your tax dollars being spent have a look at whats being spent on the war on terror each day. Nasa`s budget compared to that is a drop in the bucket.

That's my point !  the old song and dance (fly me to the moon)  .Nasa need's more money. simple straight to the point. try getting blood from a stone?

et's daddy: Humanity needs to come back to the moon, and stablish a permanent (or more) colonie in there.  Aside from the comerciall interest, you have one more.

You know the example of the bag of eggs and the rock? if you have a full bag of eggs, and a rock fall, all you eggs broke. But if you have the eggs distribuited in more bags, the other eggs will be ok. We need to expand into the Solar System, and the moon in the first step.

What exactly is the point of this topic?  Are you against them going back?  

NASA only has so much man power and funding.  They can't do every single mission they want, they need to prioritize.  According to the article, they want to use it as a stepping stone to Mars.  So it makes since that they have waited this long.  It gave them ample time to send unmanned missions to Mars to further study and understand that planet.  Learning about Mars is the first step for sending Man there.  This seems quite logical to me.

Do you think they should have sent Humans there before robots?  I don't.

im sorry i want clear

some may know and obviously some dont

ive started threads before about why havent we gone back to the moon

im all for it

think its LONG over due

i think the moon base is a better idea then the space station

1 wrong step on the outside of the base on the moon and you dont fly off into space

and yes i know it doesnt mean you will on thhe space station either, but hey, crap happens

and as for this post i consider it a slight vindication for me and those like me

as earlier in my UM life several others seemed to think i was nuts for wanting NASA to return to the moon

so as i said

either NASA and me are nuts


or they are

[Hazzard]

Then there is the idea of Helium-3 mining on the Moon to power up future fusion reactors here on Earth.Researchers and space enthusiasts see helium-3 as the perfect fuel source:extremely potent, nonpolluting, with virtually no radioactive byproduct.Scientists estimate there are about 1 million tons of helium-3 on the moon, enough to power the world for thousands of years.
