There were about six years when there was not one American who went into space. We shouldn't do that again.
We could have human intelligence in orbit around Mars, building things there.
Some things just can't be described. And stepping onto the moon was one of them.
Unfortunately, kids are led to believe things are easier to achieve than they really are.
The way I see it, what is going to come out of the moon activities is a respect for U.S. leadership.
The big companies are the private industry. But they're faced with a short-term need to show a profit in short-term.
