Obama abandons bid to return man to moon

Isn't this a shame? They could establish a colony on it one day and grow vegetables..

I think it's good. It was a stupid idea. I'd rather they spent money on more telescopes etc.

Everybody knows man on the Moon is just a political stunt.

NASA's discovered water on the moon, opening "a new chapter" that could allow for the development of a lunar space station!

Not in our lifetime.

While "not in our lifetime" isn't really an argument I personaly consider valid when talking about what whole socioties can accieve, I do think that the idea is a bit of a dead end. After we colonise the moon, where do we go then? It only pushes the problem back a step.
