I do not want to move to the moon

I refuse to go

Yeah, and that moon boot fashion craze in the 80s never really took off anyway!

Lawdy, lawdy, those were some ugly boots! I was smack dab in high school during that fashion nightmare.

As mirror was saying, all well and good, but killing off the space program does not miraculously solve these problems, does it? Let's say we got rid of the military too, shut everything down, no more armed services. That will free up more money to sustain life and build homes, right? Space research is part of America, a big part. Only a handful of nations have the knowledge, research, and resources to even have a space program, and we reap the benefits from what we learn.

This world is disappearing, it is imploding..."we" have to find another world to screw up...two steps forward...three steps back...

The logic is so simple, it is sad really...

I really know Nasa needs the jobs but I think we could apply the money and the mind power to a lot better projects with a lot more potential. Be nice to see the technology be the goal rather than a left over side effect.

I just figure they are trying to justify something to do with the left over hardware. Or they are trying to get rid of something they don't want the general population to know "we" have. I would hate to see the moon become a floating landfill like earth has to some extent.

Personally I think we should be doing more to understanding our water supply and specificlly our oceans. Didn't get hardly a mention but Obama did sign some landmark legislation that way.

so the man in the moon is going to have a hole in his head from now on?

As usual politicians finding another excuse to waste millions instead of tackling the real issues.
I cant pass comment on the U.S.policies but in the UK politicians are looked on with total distain they feather there own nests then when they are booted out live a life of comfort on the taxes they screwed from the people.
I have a better idea send them all to the moon and let them dig probably the first real work any of them have ever done. Anna x

Ummm apologies if this seems a bit facetious.....but isn't your country in recession?


Ummm....doesn't the economy need stimulating?


Isn't there some way of looking at water pipelines from Canada, if water is an issue?

Wouldn't that kind of cost the same? - ish?

Wouldn't a pipeline create jobs, if water is an issue in the US?

I'm lost other than figuring out a way of getting the politicians to all leave on the next blow em up rocket....

we are getting better on economy--but its peopler that lost their job are not trying hard enuff to find work--they simply wanna be on social security or some unemployment benefit-----to me--thats unamerican way of life-

sorry-- just overslept --im gone

Hi Jess642 would there be enough space in the rocket for UK politicians to? Anna x

I've got duct tape.....we could tape them next to the aussie ones....

Not totally true. For minimum wage I wasn't driving an hour or more one way to find work. Financially, that would make no sense. I did put money into unemployment, and I felt it gave me the option to wait and find something close to home. I still looked for work daily, but the economy did suck. It's not great now, but I work five minutes from home, and while it's not a wonderfully job, it's a job.

As far as the space program goes, I think it's awesome. Personally, I'd rather my money be spent on space related things, then feed starving people in Africa who are to lazy to farm, or are allowing the crazy military sorts to rule, and who just won't stop breeding more starving children. However, I do feel we should clean up the garbage on this planet before throwing ourselves our there and junking up the universe.

Which 'garbage' might that be? The starving people in Afrika perhaps?

Or just the US exclusive garbage?

And which part of 'out there in the Universe' would be exclusive US non garbage?

No I meant literally the garbage. The excess debris that circles the earth. The landfills that really are overflowing, the nuclear and chemical waste that's not being disposed well. The toxins we're poisoning our earth with...

Oh ok.....


quite a mighty global task, wouldn't you say?

I suspect collectively, it will take the whole world's population spending the next 1000 years cleaning up....just what is already there.

I know it sounds negative....however....some countries have had little regard for wastage, and garbage....

including both of ours.

Has anyone ever fired a rocket into Uranus? be seeing you
