NASA changes their minds about sending astronauts to the moon
The timing could not have been better.
Struggling to overcome chronic underfunding, Nasa's plans for sending astronauts back to the moon seemed at risk of being frozen. Water may be lurking in the lunar soil of the moon could prompt a thaw.
Last month a board appointed by President Obama to review Nasa's space exploration program which include having people on the moon again in 2020, ready to establish the first off Earth colony, which could not be done without an extra 3 billion dollars a year from the government,
As the president considers which of Nasa's dreams to destroy and which to back, the “water on the moon issue” could be a turning point.
When it launched Constellation, NASA's newly manned spacecraft, NASA estimated that it would need 119 billion dollars to return to the moon- a goal it was told to aim for by Former President George .W. Bush.
It has never been granted a budget to match.

Whom should I tell that exploration of space from the soil of the earth is better to be piloted from a singular platform, a platform composed of the diverse human beings who live in different regions of our earth. A singular platform will ensure guarantee of the best of the talent and maximum utilization of the necessary fund.
I do not know how this may be shaped as I donot know if anyone share my view.
Of course I share your anxiety.
