We should've asked China to be a portion of the space station. We should've worked out ways that we can... just give away the technology that we have that puts things up into space, with cooperation up above the atmosphere that's needed to help each other.
There may be aliens in our Milky Way galaxy, and there are billions of other galaxies. The probability is almost certain that there is life somewhere in space.
The way I see it, what is going to come out of the moon activities is a respect for U.S. leadership.
I'm not in favor of just taking short-term isolated situations and depleting our resources to keep our climate just the way it is today.
People communicate in Twittering ways. I've learned how to do that.
Unfortunately, pioneers will always pave the way with sacrifices.
The universe is the way it is. It's not going to be changed by supplications.

Mars is much closer to the characteristics of Earth. It has a fall, winter, summer and spring. North Pole, South Pole, mountains and lots of ice. No one is going to live on Venus; no one is going to live on Jupiter.
I am not sure about Bill Nelson. I haven't heard him say, 'Let's junk the NASA plan to send humans to the moon.' He's not about to say that. That would not be very popular.
