Hi everyone,
Yeah...
So, as the subject line states.
I had some thought while just watching Deep Space 9 in the evening, and having messed about in Orbiter with the historic and the proposed module for landing on the moon past month gone by. It got me thinking.
With the Space Launch system currently in development and if successful and maintained, could a future whitehouse not committ funds, a literal backing here to construct a lander for one mission to the Moon within that term, now obviously, if that is the case, then who ever wins the next term will have to see a landing take place, sort of like Nixon with mission 11.
Why? For all the reasons mentioned in the past, if that isn't short enough and doable, then I don't know how government can and industry could do it any quicker.
Otherwise as Aldrin's book on Mars, I just began reading through again today, very briefly, private enterprise, private enterprise.. So that is how the next mission may occur.
