I can't say it better, so I'll quote:
Because it's the 38th anniversary of the moon landing, that's why. 38 damn years, people. There ought to be a Starbucks up on the moon by now, and a bunch of tourists experiencing the challenge of sipping a vente latte in one sixth G.

I agree with the sentiment, but completely outside of that … I so loved the Eighties.
Heh. ‘80s were fun…The music, was odd.
I agree completely about going back to the moon, but how about a Tim Horton’s instead of a Starbucks?
Heh..yeah, a TimmyHos would be great. I was recently reading about the new spacecraft that will get us back to the moon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_(spacecraft)
Now, I’ve not done any reading on the Lander yet…gotta pace yourself
