Going back

NASA has kopped some flak recently, especially after announcing their plan to open up the International Space Station from 2020. Specifically, the flak seems to be their implication that it will be available "for all Americans" (not very international) and for using the phrase "establishing a viable economy in low-Earth orbit." Urgh. So, much as I love NASA, I understand both sets of flak.

This, though... this is much more exciting. Back to the moon within five years...

We are going to the Moon — to stay.

We will build sustainable infrastructure to support missions to Mars and beyond. This is what we’re building. This is what we’re training for. We are going. #Moon2024 pic.twitter.com/dgL6NoZ2Rj
