When did Democrats view the moon as a valuable resource? What decade,
and if you know what democrats because I never heard of this?

I don't believe that's possible, unless you limit "human spaceflight"
to military missions. For example, Eisenhower authorized U-2 missions
over Russia; but he thought going to the moon was "crazy."

On the other hand, the moon has been viewed as a valuable resource by
Democrats, and in my opinion rightly so. To realize its tremendous
potential for harnessing solar energy, one need only look through its
absence of an atmosphere to its obvious luminescence. The moon has
proximity; U. S. space pioneers have been there; and the harnessing
appears within reason. Why not get it done, before it's too late?
