I think President Trump either wanted to restart the space race or at least invest in it enough to not just compete with our biggest adversaries, but ensure that if we do, we'll be ahead of the curve and I can get behind that.

So are we preparing ourselves to go to the moon for the first time, to go back to the moon, to assert dominance on the world stage, or are we going back solely to...

prove the haters and the conspiracy theorists wrong.

I always found it odd that after we won the space race, it seemed that nobody else cared to put a human on the moon.

They just let us win and nobody else wanted to be number two.

Nobody wanted to be the second person, the second country to put a person on the moon.

It just seems hard to imagine that if there was once a race and this need to be the first, no one wants to be the second.

I don't know.

It just seems odd.

And if we once had the technology, then you're telling me nobody else had that technology.

Nobody else could figure it out.

I don't know.

And if they can figure it out, then why if they do have the technology, why not go?

I guess nobody cares.

I can't imagine that nobody cares.

It's just like the competitive nature.

You want to prove people that you can do it.

And I've also heard that we, you know, we had the technology and now we don't and we could build it again, but...

the argument is why spend all the time and energy building it again?

I mean, why not?
