The moon. So close and yet so far since the 1970's. There was a time when the United States was the leader in space exploration. It was a matter of national pride. Then it stopped and somehow we changed to a nation of war without end and supplying arms to anyone who would buy them, friend or foe. Imagine a world where we focused on something to make life for all humanity better....imagine a world where right wing U.S. fascists didn't say that space exploration was a waste of time while designing missile defense systems that probably won't work, cost way more, and are probably going to be bypassed by a container bomb, a suitcase bomb, or a big plane flying into a skyscraper. I like to imagine a future focused on exploration and creating a better world society rather than one focused on wars without end...but then, I have a very fertile imagination.
