<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2585830, member: 5233&quot;]I agree with you guys.&nbsp; I really do.&nbsp; I would love to see us further explore the moon and go to Mars...heck I&#039;d be first in line to go.&nbsp; But, a lot of people like to downplay all the significant contributions and amazing discoveries made since Apollo ended.&nbsp; Nobody cares that the Skylab program alone (3 manned missions) brought home more scientific data than all of the Apollo program.&nbsp; You are right...it&#039;s not as magical and it doesn&#039;t capture the imaginations of most (I guess I&#039;m just a little easier to impress).</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the big reason it hasn&#039;t happened is there is no motivation.&nbsp; There is noting pressing to be gained.&nbsp; During the days of Mercury, Gemini and Apollo....we were &quot;fighting&quot; communism and this was one of the fronts.&nbsp; Had it not been for that push...we probably never would have gone.&nbsp; We don&#039;t have that today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
