Heck, I've always wanted a space station on the moon, and now darn it, with him leading the country, I'll be able to be alive to see it.

In all honesty, it's not like we don't have enough problems to want and go spend exactly how much money to put people on the moon? Way I see it, perhaps that was a plan of one of his former employers LOL

Some of these politicians have hair brained ideas that is for sure.

The intriguing thing about it is that after the Manhattan Project, the space race is what spurred on most of the technological leaps forward in the 20th century. What would happen if we were able to start another race, but to having a base on the moon?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it should happen... just wondering what else would happen as a result of going that direction.
