AS exciting as the space race was in the Cold War, people then were asking why. Now that having thousands of things in orbit serving us, what do we need from the moon?

I don't oppose exploring planets and space with instruments, but take the money that is costs to put men on the moon and fix what is wrong on earth.

I'm far from a scientist, but seems I remember the main byproduct of rocket fuel combustion is water. But that was from the hydrogen/oxygen fuels. Other rockets have used kerosene or methane. Again, the byproducts don't seem to be anywhere near the foul byproducts of petroleum based fuels as we know them here on the ground.

I have to agree with Glen ^^^^ as I'm currently reading John Glenn's biography. Except for the moon part, of course.
