Let's go back to the moon and put the moon bases up as we should have a long time ago. As we all know the International Space Station was a bad idea. We should have kept our feet on the ground and built on the moon.
We can do it now. Make it a joint venture with a few good countries. We will have our moon embassy's on the moon of all the countries that are part of it. Commercialize to pay for it. Many companies would pay dearly to see their name in lights on the moon.
We can celebrate on the 50th Anniversary from our moonbase. Don't hold back. Put our time and effort into something worthwhile. Keep it close to earth with our great earth's natural satellite. All those Mars people that want to skip the moon please think again. We must walk before we can run.
We can make the moon out of something that is inhabited and full of life. Someday we can have tourism to the moon while we stay in a closed ecological dome. Ok we can dream can't we? The moon is a hop, skip, and a jump away from earth. Lets take advantage of it. Let us all band together and get on the "We choose to go to the moon" bandwagon once again!
What are your moon ideas? Let them be known. From around the world write a few things. Even if your english isn't to the moon write something anway. We can appreciate all cultures.
JFK giving the "We choose to go to the moon" speech at Rice University in Houston, Texas September, 12, 1962
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon... (interrupted by applause) we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
