Shooting for the Moon

Selina's been whining about the cost of America returning to the moon. In my opinion America has to go back to the moon. The Apollo missions were declared a success at the time, but it was conveniently forgotten that we'd completely failed to find or topple the Moon Government!

Now the moon's a breeding ground for space terrorists (probably), and it has a stranglehold over the largest cheese reserves in the solar system.

Have we forgotten that the moon is the ejecta of an massive and unprovoked collision between a fledgling Earth and a planet-like object the size of Mars? (I'm not making this stuff up, this is Science Fact!) Can we stand by all these epochs and do nothing in the face of what was basically "Earth's 9/11"? I think not!

Apollo was just for starters. America needs to go back and finish the job.
Blogger Joanna  Those Clangers have got it coming to 'em.... 
Blogger Emilygrae  Agreed. If we (the earth) can't even regain control of the cheese fields of tranquility, how oh HOW can we make it the next step to Mars? Can you say "preemptive strike"? Until then, stop funding our own demise and remember to say no to cheese, or the lunar terrorists have already won. Sorry Wallace. 
Blogger Becky  Ah yes Jo, the Clangers. Or "Wombles of Mass Destruction" as I call them.

I can't think of a single bigger threat to our freedom. 
Anonymous Mia  You're right of course. The moon is infact what used to be the Pacific Ocean. That ocean is one giant crater!

And I for one support new plans to go to the moon. Who doesn't want to see the surface in high-def? No, really, I wasn't even born when we walked on the moon so I want to see it happen. Plus I think it will give NASA some direction again. And a reason to update our space technology.

Those moon men are dangerous! 
Blogger Selina  Hoi! I wasn't whining! I was playing devil's advocate.

Obviously we need to go back there and plant little flags, and claim those places where we plant our flags sovereign (or democratic (or republican)) property of whoever gets back there first.

And as that territory will extend to the nearest body of water, next back gets the lot!

We need a new Cook, or Columbus, or even Vasco da Gama to go out there and claim the moon for us.

And then build a load of timeshares - Damn, Branson's already thought of that! 
Anonymous Kat  We never went to the Moon in the first place,

mumble, mumble, conspiracy theories, mumble 
Blogger Karol Cross  I'm all for Americans going to the moon, the only problem I can see is that they might want to come back afterwards. :(

And as for WMD's Becky, I just hope they're ready for the Soup Dragon. Used to give me nightmares that dragon did!
