I agree 1000 plus percent why are peops so negative about spaceflight ?

Yup. I feel commecial-intrests will eventually push to the moon, but not before a country or international group does it again.
China is very serious about moon-mining goals, paticularly element He3.
A Mars trip directly from Earth is not out of the question, but who's going to take the leadership-position? It's just my opinion, but moonbase first, then to Mars.
