The technology to establish a moon base is there, and there is an orbiting space station, but the focus has been elsewhere.And there is Virgin Galactic, that will bring spaceflight to the masses at some point.Yes, blame the US. I don't see Sweden planning a moon base. I think NASA should be a globally funded program. You do know that there are other space agencies, right?Sure, but you were the one faulting NASA in particular. I still think space exploration should be a global effort, so that would make all space stations belonging to the same agency. A new name would be in order. We could still call it NASA though if you need to mock it.

Jesus died on the cross to show us that BDSM is a legitimate form of love.
There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.
I'm hoping that something will happen to revive the interest in space exploration. IMHO the shuttle was a step in the right direction, but it should never have been the only step in terms of human exploration.
Mars One is not a realistic project. They don't have the resources to do it. A part of me is rooting for them, but another is thinking "idiots".It's a very good example of (or it will be, given some time) why a Mars mission takes something like NASA, especially NASA as it was in the 60s and early 70s. Not a bunch of eager amateurs.
I'm not mocking NASA. Whatever gave you that idea? I'm saying that their budget has been refocussed too many times. How are they supposed to plan ahead when their goals are being redefined every couple of years?
