here is something to think about while you look up the cost of Kennedys re-election stunt.
Goerge Bush jr. 15 jan 2004(re-election year) title: Bush outlines plan for moon landing
Bush"In the last 30 years no human being has set foot on another world or ventured into space more than 386 miles" "cost 12 billion over the next 5 years" Bill Nelson(shuttle 1986)"You can?t go to the moon by 2014 wth that"It would be for Bush?s succssors to figure out how to finance the costliest part of the plan.Bush says"We need to see and examine and touch for ourselves" surly he missed out again.A crew exploration vehicle to ferry poeple first to the space station and then to the moon.30 years ago it was non stop! Bush says"Time table for robotic missions(yes metal men,hello) to the moon no later than 2008 a new manned spacecraft by2015 and to the moon by 2020.SO now(2005) we need at least 15 years and at least 15 billion to send a man to the moon but better send robots first(just to clear up the rubble from 35 years ago when it took 4 years a flying calculater and 620million.Thefallible I would check all of this and then see if the Chinees or the French or the Russians want to build a flying calculator and fly to the moon, land, go for a walk and maybe drive around abit.I am sure you could do it .Just like 35 years ago
