re: re:The Moon
Mars is as improbable an objective as the Moon, because of the present situation.
Besides, the Moon shows us the history of our Sun, through the ages and it's a great platform for astronomy.
We could find on the Moon, meteorites from Earth that we cannot find on Earth, helping us understand what our own planet was.
And the Moon is far more relevant to humans on Earth as we've been able to see it ever since humans looked upwards.
