And what's beyond our capability about a moon base? I'm sure if one were on the "far" side, so much electromagnetic radiation from Earth would be blocked that it would be an ideal place for a gigantic radio telescope. And an optical telescope observatory would be many, many times as valuable as any orbiting observatory.

We need to start thinking like some cultures, where public projects have hundred-year goals. It's instant gratification that's dead, not human spaceflight. It's only begun. Tell me it's dead in 500 years. I think you'll be surprised. On Thu, Mar 1, 2012 at 5:24 PM, Dave Gary <davegary@me.com> wrote:
