There are good reasons to go there. You could make a fueling station for deep-space missions. You could modify the moon's velocity to effect tidal forces or send it flying through the cosmos. You could cut a hole in the center and use it as a gravity well for research...okay, maybe some more realistic ideas are in order....It's nice but really to me there seems no practical purpose to go to the moon. What you got there some rocks and dust. Now of they plan to do some Planetary Annihilation shit with the moon then that would be dope.

What's embarrassing is your understanding of the subject matter because we ain't pouring money into Nasa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_of_NASAAnd with all that money we are pouring into NASA, we are hitching rides off the ruskies to the iss. How embarrassing.
What's embarrasing is me using your own reference as a rebuttal. So nineteen and and a half billion isn't a lot of money? LoLWhat's embarrassing is your understanding of the subject matter because we ain't pouring money into Nasa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_of_NASA
Adjusted for inflation and as a percentage of the budget it's a mere pittance of what we used to spend. As for your whine about us hitching rides it just further proves that you are out of your element.What's embarrasing is me using your own reference as a rebuttal.

"NASA's FY 2017 budget of $19.5 billion"
So, money is a thing. But apparently we (the USA) have infinite money to blow up rocks and sand in foreign countries but the NASA budget has been like an after thought for 30 years.
I would have thought we'd have something better than the ISS or some kind of moon base by now, but no. I guess if I'm ever getting off this planet it'll either be a SpaceX or a ChinaX rocket.
I also thought we'd all be driving electric vehicles by now and have solar powered homes... guess I'll just keep loading the bowl...
I view it the same way i view the moon landing in 1969, if China was bullshitting it there is no way in hell the US wouldn't call bullshit. Just like there is no way the CCCP wouldn't call bullshit if we faked the moon landing.I want to believe, but it's a Chinese source..
You don't get it 19.5 billion doesn't cover R&D for missions let alone actual logistics. NASA missions have historically been cutting edge, nasa doesn't use off the shelf parts for missions they could easily do. NASA's missions often have had goals in which the technology required to do the missions haven't been invented yet, which the public has greatly benefited from when nasa develops technology.What's embarrasing is me using your own reference as a rebuttal.

If we nasa had one goal of just launching rockets into low earth orbit and come back they could easily do that. That's not how nasa wants to spend it's budget. NASA's value to the american public is in the development of technology and research not that it launches rockets, space is just a convenient platform for developing technology given the unearthly challenges space travel has.

Put down the shovel and step away from the hole.
especially since the way we are destroying the hell out of it.space exploration should be a priority if we want to survive as a species, the planet cant support our growth forever
