    Nice question petrus! Gives me a chnce to step up on my soap box!

    Personally, I would love for them (the USA especially, the rest of "mankind would be nice also) to save some of those BILLIONS of dollars for most if not ALL space exploration for quite some time, and put it into things such as (in no particular order):

    1. Curing cancer and AIDS
    2. Feeding the millions who die each day of starvation
    3. Creating a good, workable Healthcare system for the USA
    4. Reforming the Social Security system
    5. Putting ALOT more money into humanistic plans, funding and organizations, so that children and adults can have a quality life, espeically those who are displaced or poor.
    6. Deveolping our country's energy resources, so we are much more independent.

    So many things are more important than going back to the moon, to Mars, or anywhere else in space shuttles, in my opinion. We have so many problems in our own country, we need to get it in GOOD shape before we go off to start messing up other places.

    I think the real question is did we ever go in the first place? (conspiracy)

    Go back? We never went in the first place. The shots of the moon were filmed in hollywood and streamed to the people to end the cold war.

    No.
    How about if we spend that money on something better, like healthcare.

    Of course. But remember, the US was the only country to go to the Moon so far, and NASA has been losing funding over the past 15 years or so. Guess which side of the isle? Same one giving themselves pay raises, tax breaks, absolution over the whole Mark Foley thing and all the while cutting funding to education, college loans, renewable energy and AIDS research. What I'm getting at is that I doubt it will be this little part of mankind that returns there, at least not next. The EU, China and Japan all have their sights on more actual things like this.

    Yes, if only to work out how to make space travel safer and more economic. If our future is in the stars then this is a necessary step.

    WHY? We've already been there. Do you like to vacation in the same spot every year. Let's go somewhere where it is warm- say the Sun.

    Eventually? Probably. But at the moment, I'd rather have my tax dollars spent to solve more pressing problems that face us.

    Not until it becomes possible to place a base there, for launches further into space.

    You mean we have been there before? I was around at the time,and even then questioned the truth behind it,and if we were really there.At that time there was a space race between the US and the Russians,and to be the first on the moon would be a feather in their caps.I also learned about video techniques, lighting and worked behind the scenes in TV,and editing was possible back then.I think that trips to the moon would not be useful.

  • i'm a supporter of the space program, but returning to the moon for the sake of returning to the moon is pointless. if we go to create some kind of moon base in order to build larger spacecraft, or some other purpose, then absolutely we should go. there are many useful things we can do on the moon.

    Only if they use the same people to fake going back as was used to fake going the first time! Sure lets permit a Chinese lunar lander to land successfully at tranquility base and show the world the truth!

    No. I think that the money it would take to go would be much better spent right here.
