Pow..Straight to the moon

[Bulldada]

I've seen pros and cons about going to the moon then on to mars. Do y'all think its a good idea? Or is it just a ploy by bush to gain votes? Would the money be better spent on earthy projects? ....wait...wheres this money coming from?

Well, it helps if you at least understand that stopping off on the moon would be a colossal waste of energy.

Also, might be a good idea to see what PNAC has to say about space exploration.

i wouldn't know maybe discover another life or they probably just want to go to another planet i don't know i'm not a scientist

I heard recently that someone who is currently in junior high or high school will be the first person to visit Mars.

I think that exploring other planets is necessary, but I don't see the importance in sending humans to these places. NASA has developed some unexpectedly reliable machines to do all their exploration. I don't know why it would be logical to send a human to do the same thing since it costs more and is potentially dangerous.
