Re: Aah, our Moon, our beautiful Moon (and reality)!

Greetings, Raoul.

This was at one of the pages from the site you posted:

The story of the dreams and the unbuilt spaceships for flights to Mars should be recorded so that in the future people can examine past ideas of space travel just as we can examine the unconsummated ideas of Leonardo da Vinci by reading his notebooks. Years from now people should be able to decide for themselves whether they want to go to Mars or if they prefer to stay earthbound. But let us not destroy the dream, simply because we do not wish to pursue it ourselves.
- Edward Ezell, NASA Historian (1979)

Interesting, eh? I think that would apply to the Moon, etc. as well.

Some said we couldn't build a city in Nevada's desert (Hoover Damm, English Channel tunnel...), go to the Moon.

Good Lunar debate below, Raoul and Gary!

On the short term and next time we make a trip to the moon, we need to leave a camera there pointing to the Earth (solar powered, transmissions via satellites). I think that can be done.
