Yes, it would be nice.

I think it's a fools wish. Neither of them will. I really think this country could use a big common goal and space exploration could provide that. We need vision!

They seem to be passing the reins onto China and Russia. It's sad.

Russia is probably too poor, and China is probably a long way from having that kind of technology. My guess is that even if the President wanted to look for life on a nearby moon, it would be blocked by the fundamentalist caucus in Congress, they of the bury-your-head-in-the-sand life philosophy.

I really wish I didn't agree with you.
