President Bush will announce plans next week to send Americans to Mars and establish a permanent human presence on the moon, senior administration officials said Thursday night.

Bush won't propose sending Americans to Mars anytime soon; rather, he envisions preparing for the mission more than a decade from now, one official said.

In addition to proposing the first trip to the moon since December 1972, the president wants to build a permanent space station there.




Interesting.

he's going to turn the moon into his own Death Star.

i wouldnt mind going

seriously, it's one of my dreams.

No Bush is going to retire there as a monk!!

mine also, im trying to design a rocket myself.

Hahahahaha :thumbsup

Maybe it's a project to carve his face on the moom like Cobra Commander did on GIJOE. It wouldn't surprise me if that was his plan.

The first people on Mars and on the Moon should definitely have Internet access to watch free porn. :winkwink:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Since the moon is untouched, are there any minerals worth mining there? Any gold?

Its been mentioned now, so wtf will he announce it for?

Thats probably the funniest shit I heard all week.

We will liberate the people of the Moon & Mars.
Administration officials say there are no plans to keep troops there beyond 6 months.

maybe he wants to play golf on mars when he retires

I wonder how long it will take before he "claims" the moon. It will be USA II in a few years.

... americans will not and have never gone to the moon, there is no one to fight with.

I call BULLSHIT (in capps) that fucking lier came around here and made all these great promises on all the good things he was going to do for the local space industry, on his campain before he was elected...

he hasn't done shit.. on top of that even if he really planned to do this, where the hell is he going to get the money being he has sky rocketed our national debit to an all time high from a all time low in less than 3 years.

Bush is a bad joke that keeps getting told over and over to the American people.

Once all the Oil (From IRAQ) is gone they can use the resources of the moon for cheap fuel.


"The moon is expected to be a treasure house of resources, but a more promising aspect is the moon as an energy source. Large quantities of helium 3 are lying on the lunar surface; helium 3 can be used as a fuel for nuclear fusion reactors, one method of clean, high-efficiency power generation. Ten thousand tons of this substance could generate sufficient electrical energy to sustain the entire world population in the 21st century.
Helium 3 is rare in nature on Earth. However, the moon is estimated to hold one million tons of the substance on its surface over which the solar wind has blown for several billions of years.
The Earth is seriously handicapped by shortages of resources and energy. By supplying these, the moon may determine the future course of the human race."

Sounds very cool to have a base there :thumbsup

Man,he really is looking EVERYWHERE for Ben Laden .

The rate he is going it might be the only place he will be able to go without being totally protected and shielded from the public because he is hated so much.

Wasting unfathomable amounts of money on nothing is cool. :thumbsup

nobody needs a base there..

:1orglaugh
Money better spent than weapons.

if he's going to Mars himself I like the idea
