Comment on NASA Astronauts Won't Step Foot on the Moon Until September 2026 at the Earliest - IGN

I certainly want to see us not just return to the moon but go farther and farther.

We wasted 30 years puttering around low Earth orbit with the space shuttle without making any real progress at all, meanwhile all the old Apollo engineers have retired or passed away, and the infrastructure to build everything doesn't exist anymore. So we basically have to almost start from scratch.

Sad but true. I only hope it happens because, I want my moon mansion and moon maidens.
