According to the poll, of which 275,590 votes were registered, 157,431 (57 percent) said yes, and 118,159 (43 percent) said no. I can see where going to the moon could be considered frivolous, since really, will we be able to set up colonies there? Or do people just want to send our trash there? But I also come back to the Tom Hanks character in Apollo 13, and his response when asked why astronauts should go back to the moon: "What if Christopher Columbus came home from the New World, and no one followed in his footsteps?"
I really would love to see a man walking on the moon, in my lifetime, and in high definition. I think that would be cool.
