Easy to say if you dont have a budget, harder to do on a strict budget.
NASA have stated ages ago the commercial enterprises will have to take care of advancing the technology for spaceflight. When it's available at a reasonable cost ,they'll use it. The lunar base is their first phase before progressing with manned missions to Mars and beyond. I'm all for it,I just wish they'd hurry up.
I saw the 'presentation' on a news clip around lunchtime today. Seemed like a promo stunt to justify the cost and try and gain public support.
Have they been threatened with budget cuts again ?
