Oh my god. I like the lack of any specific reason for spending this amount of money on a permanent base on the moon. The space program should continue to be funded, but this is an insane amount of money. Could you imagine if we spend HALF a a trillion dollars teaching people in Africa & Asia about AIDS prevention and family planning? Or if we put half a trillion dollars into our education system? Oh wait, that stuff isn't COOL.
Silly me.
