Go to the Moon
So think about it… in the late 1880’s people believed we’d be going to the Moon as a regular thing by the 1950’s, in the 1950’s we thought by 2000 we’d have people living on the Moon… But now we don’t even go to the Moon… haven’t been since the 1970’s.
Obviously the romanticism of the journey has worn off, and in hard economic times spending all of the funding on NASA doesn’t seem like that great of a deal. Honestly, I’m cool with shutting down the space shuttle system… but I would like to see people going back to the Moon. Or if you go with the idea that we have nothing left to learn from going to the Moon… how about we try to get to Mars?
Either way… Old Science fiction says I should be able to go to the Moon… so I want to.
