#7 It's "From Earth to the Moon," one of the first movies ever made, based on the Verne story. |

#6 What tha HELL for? We need more moon rocks...for what? They won't make my cereal taste any better, and they definitely won't reduce my income tax! My advice is to let the Man In The Moon keep his rocks; if the chinese want them, maybe they can bring enough back to repair that Great Wall from cracks and leaks! |

#5 NASA has been reduced to putting toy cars on Mars and stationary robots on the moon. Their management has ossified. Time to quit fooling around with them and turn space back over to the military (AF or Navy or create a new Space Force) and take the high ground. Otherwise, we may have to deal with the Chinese putting a manned base there and claiming the whole thing for the Middle Kingdom while NASA is still putzing around with Toy R Us. |

#3 I assume the US will finance the Russian effort. |

#2 Russia has announced plans to have a moon BASE by 2025. Ironically, they may do it before the US does it, for an odd reason: their willingness to go "low tech." For example, the US would want to send pre-fab high tech buildings, but the Russians would make most of their shelters from Moon rock and dirt, with a minimum of Earth supplied materials. This difference in philosophy gives the Russians a marked advantage in setting up long-term bases on both the Moon and Mars. |
