Manned Lunar Outpost

The link is to a yahoo article but space.com was headlining a story as well. The yahoo story states, "Space policy expert John Logsdon, claimed that the plans were kept under wraps, in case Mitt Romney won the elections this week." Pair this with the partisan rhetoric we've been hearing for months and one might get the impression America is in the middle of a big family spat.  Government agencies must choose to side with either Mom (D) or Dad (R) in order to get any attention (funding). Maybe the kids will grow up, kick them out and clean house, or at least put them in separate beds. Until the nation finds a way to care about one another, i.e. itself- most of the kids are going to run rampant. With a few spoiled favorites growing fat, of course. I hope we continue to fund space exploration but I wonder if we can keep our nation strong enough to endure.
