Gosh and all those protestants, mesmerists and those who need two hands =
to eat a steak,

but sorry - in the 18th century Frederick the Great of Germany already =
gave the Moon to one of his poets as reward of his writings. So no =
chance!

Hm, I forgot about the Moon treaties, but I read some old space treaties =
accepted by the UN.
According to them each nation, which is able to launch a space craft, is =
allowed to exploite all treasures of the space. The WHOLE space, not =
only the Moon.=20
Well, poor aliens...
o.k. You can keep the Moon, I prefer a galaxy cluster, it has more beef.

Martin

PS: China is not looking for control - with their population =
development, they just need soon a new supply of their famous and =
beloved MOON CAKES!

  Bush is looking at one contigency only....and that is if China beats =
us back to the moon we will have the largest COMMUNIST NUKE owning =
country in command of the moon. Our strategic command of the skies will =
be gone, as will the safety of our satellites, both commercial and =
military.

  Possesion is 99% of the rule. Once any country sets up a permanent =
base on the moon they will have command of the high ground.=20

  I for one will feel much better if it is the good ole USA in control =
of the moon.

  Just my paranonia showing through.

    In a strange way yes. The apollo astronaut discovered helium 3 which =
at a billion dollars a ton is energy equivalent to oil at seven dollars =
a barrel if we can figure out how to use it. The Chinese think this can =
be done by the time they set up there moon base and we don't want to be =
left behind, so says Bush's science advisors.=20

    Perhaps we can get him to volunteer for the first mars mission, one =
way.

          Hi John, From what I understood from awhile back, the ice that =
is on the moons poles(?) would save them a lot of water hauling from =
earth. With the escape velocity so much less on the Moon, they would =
have an easier time launching a rocket full of water (for drinking and =
such) on the way to mars from there as opposed to the Earth.

            As there are quite a few space savvy folks on this =
list....just asking a question pertaining to Bush's speech.

            He said the moon was the logical place to initiate space =
exploration missions. Yet the moon has harsh environmental =
challenges.....and it seems those challenges are less on Mars. Only the =
distance is a problem. =20

            It would seem to me that a space station orbiting Earth =
would be the better place to initiate trips to Mars and beyond?
