Yes I do. I am all for NASA getting us back to the moon, Mars, and beyond. It will be the private sector though that will provide the bulk of the research, human talent, and know how in collaberation with NASA that will make it happen. Leave it to the politicians and bureaucrats alone and nothing will get donw.:no:

This is a bit off topic, but the only practical value of putting a man on the moon was flicking off the Soviets.
The whole thread is off topic.
Seriously though, there is plenty of practical value in the technology that came along with the efforts.

You just insulted one of the biggest events that define who I am and what I am going to school to become.
I can guarantee you there are many practical reasons besides "flicking off the Soviets".

Name one.
Not the technology that came out of the program, since we would have gotten those even if our objectives were different.
What is the practical value of a flag stuck on a giant rock?

You will need to prove this statement first before you can use it.
Well, when you put it in such eloquent terms like this I get the impression you are not going to care regardless of what I say (Please tell me I am wrong though.).

The technology which came out of the Apollo project was not target specific.
Irrelevant.
What was the practical value of going to the moon in 1969?
There was none, at least back then.

Done here.
I think some things are their own justification, and the pursuit of knowledge is one of those things. What a shame if Lewis and Clark's expedition had been postponed till it could be shown to turn a profit.

I know, what ever happened to the urge to explore what is around us? When did it all become "Can we make a profit this very second if we do this?".

But that doesn't change the fact that the technology came out of the project.

In post #81, you said: It doesn't matter what I want. It matters how things are supposed to work out.
How do you reconcile the two?
