Why should we destroy somethiong as beautiful as the moon? Shouldn't we try to "repair" what we've destroyed and preserve what's left? The population is DECREASING as due to how busy life's becoming, people know they don't have time for kids and choose to not have big families so the excuse that earth will one day be to small to accomodate us is invalid. Why bother wasting all that money on trying to get people to the moon (which would require a lot of that little substance called oxygen) when there are people who have to make a bed out of cardboard boxes everynight and others dying of everything from cancer, malaria and AIDS to even things like cold, hunger and thirst!? Also, the moon is a fraction of earth's size. So how would NASA and/or the governments make the choice of who gets to live there or not!? I'm sorry for the complete rant but it was something I had to get off my chest. Does anybody agree?
