"To The Moon Alice, To The Moon!"

Alright, here we go again! Nasa announced yesterday that we will go to the moon... again. They say that preparations will take until 2018. If my math still works, that's 13 years. Here's the question - Why will it take 13 years now, when preparation only took 9 years when President Kennedy announced the moonshot back in the sixties????? Our technology has taken leaps and bounds since the sixties. Well I'm sorry, I don't believe we ever went to the moon in the first place. And the other significant issue - this is going to take billions according to NASA. Actually hundreds of billions! How many more bounced checks are we going to write? I don't know about you, but I could use some tax relief. Is this another ploy to bring the country together? You know, American pride? I think I can figure out a few different ways to spend $104 billion dollars. Perhaps that money will be spent on a better "Hollywood production" this time.
