US should have a moon base by now.

I don't get it. Where is the moon base? We could have a huge underground city by now.

Are we just afraid of property rights? It could be multinational.
 
Isn't that against some kind of international treaty? I'm pretty sure it's to forbid a sovereign claim but not sure how a "US" moon base works into that. Maybe if we built it and called it the International Moon base. 😛
 
Yes, we should have a moon base and we should have walked on Mars by now. Also, we should have had the Superconducting Super Collider by now and made CERN's LHC look like a child's toy.

Technically no one can "claim" the moon but anyone has the right to build bases on it if you could and if you build it you can control that area.

It's like all those places that offer to sell you parts of the moon and why they are a scam, you own nothing until you actually build on it.

And just remember all, it will no longer be called Uranus but will be changed to Urectum in 2620.

bases already exist. the people there told us not to visit. that's why nasa canned the program to go back.

The only thing that makes a claim valid is if you have an army capable of defending your territory against invaders.

In other words, we need a moon army.
 
The engineering talent that was produced from World War II died off. Kids of the 70's/80's/and 90's just kept building on technology that engineers in the 40's/50's/60's invented instead of looking for new ways to do things.

So, here we are.

During the late Johnson/early Nixon years, weren't they projecting a manned Mars mission by 1980? I thought I remember reading something about that. While an aggressive goal, you think we could have at least put a man on Mars sometime in the 90s if we would have had the same dedication as we did for the Apollo program.
 
We should in fact have a moon base and be visiting Mars by now. If we had continued head strong into space like we were in the 60s and 70s vast sectors of our economy would be in the space, engineering and related industries, all the top scientist would still be in the US and we would mining natural resources on the moon.
