Space-Race!
...The race to space started with Sputnik,...America picked up the "Gauntlet" and ran with it, leading to manned-missions to the moon.
Some would say the whole point of the exercize was to "Deflate" the USSR. (What really "deflated them, was runaway military-spending.)
..Now the former USSR is no longer a serious-contender...the race is over. (At least in the minds of many PPL.)
Wrong!...There are New Player's on the field. Whatever the stimulus was for the original endeavor, new reasons arise to continue. There are resources on the moon that we need. Someone will go to get them. If the effort is persued by only one nation, only that nation will reap the rewards. While our nation abandons government-sponsored spaceflight in the hope the private-sector will persue "profits-in-space"...The Chinese are investing billions in thier space program that already has specifyed the eventual goal is mining the moon.
The United States should continue what it started, we are not there yet.
