Used to love space stuff, although some of it was horrible (old enough to remember watching the challenger blow up on TV as a pre-teen). Don't really understand this moon effort. Space is uniquely hostile to humans, our tech just isn't ready IMO and probably won't be for 100 years. Our personas certainly aren't ready - I can tolerate far more isolation than most people, I often go 1-2 weeks without any real human contact at all, routinely go days without speaking to anyone. And yet the idea of living on a moon or mars colony gives me serious pause for the isolation it would involve. Space station has a different problem in that i'd be wanting to push people out of the airlock after a few weeks, or eject myself that way. Anyway this moon trip seems totally pointless. I can get why other countries want to land there but for the US, moon expeditions have zero value, especially when we are burning so much money on stupid wars and and the same time cutting healthcare and food support for citizens.
