As in "to the moon and back by the end of the decade".



Why?

What's so important?


All our most ambitious plans in space revolve
around a transportation system. Nasa should
tell Congress that this was the LAST shuttle
flight, they are too dangerous.

Let me ask you, looking into the future what is our biggest problem
facing us? Isn't it our global energy needs? In fifty years or so
we need to replace oil with other sources. Solar energy, collected
in space, is the ...only... practical path. Fusion is a pipe-dream.

Here is another Nasa dream that needs to be pushed forward.

Mars will have to take a back-seat, we can't wait ten
years for a replacement.
