"NASA is pressing forward on assessing the value of a "human-tended
waypoint" near the far side of the moon — one that would embrace
international partnerships as well as commercial and academic
participation,
Space.com has learned.


According to a Feb. 3 memo from William Gerstenmaier, NASA's
associate
administrator for human exploration and operations, a team is being
formed
to develop a cohesive plan for exploring a spot in space known as the
Earth-
moon libration point 2 (EML-2)."

Our NASA can't afford to consider squat. *President BHO should have
fired every last one of our NASA pricks as of day-one.


The nations needs to rebuild its industrial base so as to better
afford such projects. And the poor man (the majority now)
who aren't going to get ahead
aren't going to care or generate the resources needed to such a
project. The ultra-rich really don't care as they are too busy
doing drugs (both RX and illegal) and banging high class hookers.

The positions use seems limited to its view and
its distance. Perhaps it could used to assemble
a multiple part craft away from certain nations that might take pot
shots at
a defenseless vessel.
