I don't see why this next moon shot cannot be a collabrative effort. We need a base on the moon for our next journey out. Why not like the ISS and use everyones efforts and money.
Yes the US is in grave trouble, but if they stopped making war with every tin pot nation out there just so that their military industrial machine can keep rolling along, then things might be different. Let's face it, Afghanistan is no threat to anyone really, the same as Iraq. So much money and lives wasted on both sides.
I had hoped to see another moon shot in my life but perhaps now that is all for naught. We need another place where our species can be safe. If we don't do something soon we could jeopardize our very existence. The impact on Jupiter last year highlighted this issue. No one saw that coming and the same could happen to us.
Stupid State sovereignty is holding up our progression. Would serve us right if we had an impact in 30 years. Dumb humans
