This blog raises serious questions about the future of NASA and to a lesser extent the anti-intellectualism that is slowly draining America's brain trust.

A moon base would be a first step....but who is going to pay for it?
(Greenbacks!?)

I believe we are and Unborn species...Or rather that we are still in the womb. We are at peril having all our eggs in one basket, like Pear Harbor.

Space exploration is our only hope for the long term survival of the Species

What is even as interesting is the thought that if thier is water on Mars (outside of the poles) is that that the water table is so low that if water was to be extracted it would screw up the planets gravity.
