do you think we'll see a return to the Moon, ...Ed,<br /><br />do you think we'll see a return to the Moon, much less exploration and bases in our lifetime? The mindless idiots, er, suits in Washington have already wasted the greater part of my lifetime. I was eight years old when Gene Cernan and co. left the Moon for the last time. I understand NASA had plans for a lunar base to be in place and presumably functional by 1978... It's a crime IMO that the lunar program was totally scrapped. But, I don't have much confidence that anything will come of current ideas. Or, rather, I'll believe it when, or if, I see it.Catreonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959115298646880631noreply@blogger.com
