This is fucking gay. I think Bush is delerious.

Everyone knew China had been working on their own Space program for quite a long time. I think its great that they put a man into space under their own power. They said that their next step is the moon. Which seems logical, but they said it would take them until 2020 I believe to get everything ready to go there. Why the fuck does the States need to go there again? To prove a point? You've already been there. There are more important things that need to be done in space than showing up the Chinese. How about the billions of dollars put into a half finished International Space Station? Is that thing going to be in orbit for another 50 years only partially complete? What about instead of sending a man to the Moon again, end someone to Mars. Its quite conceivable.

And maybe Bush should have NASA running trips to the ISS again even before he says hes thinking of going to the moon.

What are they going to use to get there? I think they still have 2 Staurn5 rockets they could use on display ouside of Kennedy Space Centre. Bwhaha. Anyway, you'll need a new LEM to land on the moon. So first you have to build it and put it into orbit, then take the shuttle up there, somehow attach it to the shuttle, slingshot to the moon, get in the LEM, land on the moon for a game of golf, get in the LEM, go back to the shuttle and come home. Wheres the point in that? Seems like a BIG waste of money to me. The Apollo program was useful. It had a point. This doesn't. I think Bush is on glue or something. Good thing is he'll be out of office by the time this thing goes through if it does, and hopefully the next president will beable to put these resources toward something else.
