Yep, the I think there should be another space race if Russia's econmy in a few years can seriously handle it. Or better yet, a US/EU/Russia Mission to Mars, a group effort and would be possible even sooner.

Races are good for technology.

And if Russia and US can work together then as most people know.

Russia and US has some of the worlds smartest scientists.

I am glad to see this.

With both Russia and China ready tio advance the space race maybe the US will do something besides stall, we should have been there years ago

Races are good for technology.

Thats what got us to the Moon

Yep!

Even look at all the tech advancement in bother World Wars.

And especially in Cold War.

The US wants a moon base (zappa, ha ha I'm funny) for reasons of...
1) Future space exploration
2) Unlimited electical power
3) More natural reasourses
4) The proverbial deathstar ray gun

After that, we goto mars, then Alpha Centuri.

Yeah, the U.S. Moon base plan is great. From there we will be able to go above and beyond. NASA's top director, (forgot his name), recently said that NASA would be unveiling a new type of space ship before we have the moon base mission.

- From the moon, less gravity, easier take off
- Not as much fuel waste to exit Earth's atmosphere
- New space type, some sort of space 'plane' will be able to travel faster.

U.S. agenda for space sounds good to me right now. Russia looks good, too. Looks like humanity is finally stepping up to the task.

Yes US will build a base on moon first.

And from there they will be able to launch to mars.

But dont forget.

First gowers pay the most.

And people after get the info for free.

In other words what I am saying is when US builds a base it will be cheaper for others to build one too.

And about Russia going to Mars, US can go to they just dont want to take the blame if something goes wrong.

I agree with you 100%.

But read the post below.

Yes the US wants to go, we, after moving the budget go around, could go now. There are other circumstances however that the US must attend to before we can. Russia hasnt realized, the West is in a second cold war or if you wish, a third world war, against terrorists.

Also I heard US wants to have a manned mission to Mars by 2033.

I will try find this info so it wouldnt sound like I am putting US down.

I am just glad to see we are ALL collectively getting off our azzes and going. The more countries involved the better, hopefully we will see a race between the US, Russia, the EU, China and maybe Japan. Nothing like compatition to spur things on, like Russian said almost all of our tech we have today is because of WW 1-2, the cold war and the first space race.

Man, i just want someone to build a base so i can visit it for 1 mill, ill save me money up my whole life and BAM iam on the moon

I always thought of the first Mars mission to be a world project...I mean just think if the US Russia and China would all work togeather we would get to Mars a lot faster
