Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 21, 2013

I really don’t understand why we don’t have a small base on the moon…A little gravity is a good thing…..The moon is one big satellite….So much could be done and learned there….

And if we were a lot younger there would have been tons more applicants.

I think The Skulker got it in one.

No one wants to go to the Moon anymore unless it has satellite TV.

It’s less expensive to set up a one way trip to mars and resupply them for a lifetime, rather than bring them back.

It’s doubtful this country, or any in the Western world, will even return to the Moon, let alone build a base. There is too much risk with little return for the private sector (no market for it yet) and governments cannot justify it to a populace who not only doesn’t care, but are demanding more and more entitlements. Things would have to change pretty dramtically for it to happen, even in our grandchildren’s lifetime.

I think human beings will have much more pressing concerns then interplanetary space travel, in the near future.
