Recently, Senator Hillary Clinton revealed her science agenda. Of

I 100+% agree, that for example the moon's surface is actually a worse
off investment than Mars for the moment, and of humans on Mars is
simply entirely out of the question, although China and India may
accomplish the first LSE-CM/ISS prototype that'll at least make our
physically dark and naked anticathode moon's surface a whole lot more
affordably accessible in the near future.
