Am I the only one excited by this? Because I had dinner with the first astronauts to walk on the moon? I wish them well at NASA and you can bet I'll be watching every step of the way!

But how we gonna do it? We got Iraq. We got KatrinaRita. Social Security. What's the payoff ecomically? Isn't Mars more exciting. Or do we have to have the moon to get to Mars?

ecomically should have obviously been economically. But maybe there will be some comic aspects to another moon mission. Golf anyone?

We sooner or later have to be responsible for ourselves and if we stop looking outward we will cease to grow as a civilization. It is that simple.

Oh, and about the moon, it is days to get there. To get to Mars, it takes YEARS!!! The moon would be a stop-off and replenishment center. More on this to come. I am delighted !!

~MarciaH Fri, Sep 30, 2005 (19:23) #10
AIM is best for me. I use it to talk to family. Might I suggest it? Off to email you !!!
~wolf Fri, Sep 30, 2005 (19:30) #11

~terry Fri, Sep 30, 2005 (22:17) #12
Email me too, Marci! So I can get your new email address.
~MarciaH Sat, Oct 1, 2005 (19:12) #13
actually I should change my email address here too. I'll get right on it. Might I suggest checking AIM at the following?! http://www.aim.com/ I'll add you to my Yahooigans but I suspect Yahoo will continue to slow down my computer to the point of stalling if I do anything but use Yahoo. It seems incompatible with aol which thinks it owns my pc. *snarl*

Ok terry, my email should read critter514@aol.com. I can't get the userinfo to take it.

I read somewhere about a Japanese company that wanted, eventually, to build a luxury hotel on the moon. That may well give a whole new meaning to the concept of a "honeymoon".
~MarciaH Mon, Oct 3, 2005 (19:11) #16
Good heavens. I've listened quietly to a very sincere and heated discussion of whether or not we should go to the moon because that was where heaven is. Perhaps they need more mansions there?!
~wolf Mon, Oct 3, 2005 (22:02) #17
*LMAO* "honeymoon" and "good heavens" you punsters!! wait, heaven's on the moon? are you serious, someone was arguing about that? incredible....

Yup some Texan sure he had the direct line to God. But then I also heard it from a guy way back in the woods of West Virginia many years ago. Dare I suspect these preachers have descendants who believe the same? I try not to ask.

(I had no idea I was making puns. *grin*
