We Need To Have People Up There

I Wrote 'reaching For The Moon' Because I Wanted To Tell Kids That All Of Us Have A Moon, A Dream, That We Can Strive For. Even If You Don't Attain It, You Can At Least Reach For It.

Globalisation Means Many Other Countries Are Asserting Themselves And Trying To Take Over Leadership. Please Don't Ask Americans To Let Others Assume The Leadership Of Human Exploration. We Can Do Wonderful Science On The Moon, And Wonderful Commercial Things. Then We Can Pack Up And Move On To Mars.

The Big Companies Are The Private Industry. But They're Faced With A Short-term Need To Show A Profit In Short-term.

To Move Forward, What's Required Is A Unified Space Agenda Based On Exploration, Science, Development, Commerce, And Security.
