Reply #306: I'm not sure about that either. You don't need the moon for long duration training, [View All]

the space station will work fine for that and already has. Landing on the moon also doesn't help research the best ways to enter the Martian atmosphere which is critical or the actual landing vehicle either. The moon doesn't have an atmosphere and only has 1/3 the gravity of Mars. By cutting out the costs of a trip back to the moon, Obama is making a trip to Mars much more likely.

We'll go back to the moon again. Maybe for h3, maybe to set up an observatory or maybe even a solar farm. Unfortunately, those projects aren't even on the horizon yet.
