Pull oxygen from moon dirt, win $250k

FYI, last time I was at the moon we built a big-ass kicker and my buddy hit it too fast, he totally cleared the landing and went into orbit around the moon. It took him like 9 hours to come back around and then Glenn had to go up in the spaceship and pull his ass back to the surface.

Is there going to be any powdered whisky to consume, or is rocket fuel going to be used to get wasted? Booster juice clogs your bowels for weeks on end... I'd opt for the powdered whisky.

Probes to moon, Mars called priority
NASA chief, DeLay say funding available for space missions
Wednesday, June 1, 2005 Posted: 9:44 AM EDT (1344 GMT)

HOUSTON, Texas (AP) -- NASA's new administrator and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, vow the space agency will have the necessary funding to implement President Bush's vision to send astronauts back to the moon and to Mars.

"We have the money to do good things," said Michael Griffin, who has visited at least seven of NASA's centers since his appointment in April.

Griffin said the agency has received a steady flow of funding that, when adjusted for inflation, is comparable to the funding the agency had when it first sent astronauts to the moon during the Apollo program of the 1960s and early 1970s.

DeLay said NASA is a priority -- even in a time of war and tightening budgets.

"We will provide the funding necessary to get us where we want to go," DeLay said. "And hopefully we can do it in an expedited manner."

"That is why this is important," he said. "It's about where human beings go and what they do when they get there and what that means to the future of the human race."

Griffin said he believes a majority of people "want to make sure that as humankind expands into space the United States is there in the forefront."

"That is why this is important," he said. "It's about where human beings go and what they do when they get there and what that means to the future of the human race."

NASA has poured billions into the 'silkscreening on the moon' project and they just keep messing it up.
I have no idea.

While I can't confess to have any clue what it would be like to have those kind of funds, I would wager to say that most of the people with that kind of coin are extremely savvy business-wise (I don't think Micahel Jordan or Tiger Woods can even come close to those kind of numbers).

So, that being said, if you're like the guy they quote in the article and sold your business for $700M, then $100M is a huge chunk of that, and it doesn't seem like they'd be the type to blow through that much at one time. Of course, I *guess* you could still get by on only $600M. Maybe.

I suppose there are enough heirs of billionaires and just plain ego to find 2 people to pony up, though.
