"Fake. Come on people, this is too dumb to be real. Yeah, a base on the moon, that is completely feasible. Forget the billions of dollars in shipping food, water, and oxygen, not to mention the tremendous risk and need of maintenance."The word is infeasible I think and actually I saw something on TV about how they discovered that the can get water out of the moon rocks by puting it under pressure and heat, as for food and oxygen they build a self contained ecosystem and plant plants for food and oxygen. I think Bush thinks that the aliens are comin' by oil powered spacecraft. He couldn't find weapons of mas destruction in Iraq and now he expects to find them on some E.T. I guess he doesn't want any aliens crossing the intergalactic border. why didn't any of you people think of these, I posted so late you no one will see them =( |

I get so tired of the "Go about your business folks! Everything's honky-dory!" crap that we get fed all the time... |

Spangel,The amount of mass (stars, planets and dust and such) in the universe is not infinite. The amount of empty space is. Just saying, there aren't an infinite number of stars out there. |

I think it's silly to believe that we are the only ones in the universe. Sure, the chances of life starting on a planet are probably over 1 in 1 billion, but in the infinate universe, those odds are not impossible. So if the universe is infinate, That would lead me to believe that there are an infinate number of races out there besides mankind. Who knows if they have visited us, but I absolutly believe they are out there somewhere. |

I watched this twice because I could NOT believe what I was hearing. Bush actually knows we have a Moon? Unbelievable. |

But, what my Biology teacher asked us one day was, "If there was and asteroid going to hit Earth and the government had prior notice what would they do?" And everyone agreed that they would try and get off the planet. Then he asked us what had been the top priority for NASA the past say... nine years. And the correct answer was, to land on the moon again and to land on Mars. It all freaked us out but hey, asteroid isn't a bad way to die. |

I have a theory about why they would make a moon base. In 1998 an astronomer (just an astronomer I forgot the his name) saw that a meteor would be on a collision course with Earth once it had been slung around the Sun. He approximated it would hit in 2028. It hit the news stations and everyone was freaking out for about a day. Then other scientists looked at it and gave a pretty convincing reason of why it wouldn't hit (sorry I forgot what the point was; I'm sure you could Google it if you want details). So then everybody calmed down and Armageddon was over. |

I see a lot of people writing this off as a waste and its easy to do. Physical sciences are notorious for getting a bad rap in the public eye. Why? Because people perceive that they do little to nothing to benefit mankind.Chemistry and biology are directly related to humans and so its easy to rally behind these subjects when something benefits us as humans. However, people usually forget about the abstract good that can come from physical sciences. In many ways physical sciences can work hand in hand with the life sciences. If it weren't for thermodynamics we couldn't get temperatures down to unbelievably cold levels. Say goodbye to chemotherapy if it weren't for physics. The list goes on and on. Observatories on the moon could do a lot to benefit mankind. Labs, bases, even a fallback if Earth is in imminent danger. Don't write off producing long-term bases on the moon. What we could accomplish by doing so is amazing. |

I'm not big on the military on the moon idea. We posses the knowledge on how to kill everything on Earth. What would make you think that our extraterrestrial "visitors" or whatever would not as well?
Why don't we have digital observatories, at least in the public domain, on the moon? I've been asking that question since I was young. |

After some thinking I really really can't find a good reason to put a base on the moon. What can you do there that you can't do from here or from a satellite? And imagine the immense cost. |
