Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?

What is it that you expect to learn by having NASA build “test colonies” on the Moon?

If you want to build a “test colony,” you should pick someone who’s good at building colonies. Is NASA? Have we learned anything from their “test colony” in Low Earth Orbit that justifies the cost of building it?

NASA is better at exploring than colonizing, so the fact that NASA isn’t planning to build a colony on the Moon doesn’t upset me at all.

Very nice article Robert. However, the Moon is still a destination under Flexible Path, just not the first destination. Also, I do not agree that whoever next visits Tranquility Base in person will feel anything other than reverence and appreciation for the first mission to the moon. I doubt that anyone who made that trip would be as shallow as you indicate.

The flag is not in “a sad state”, it’s there as a reminder to all that mankind learned how to leave its home planet and travel to another world.

Just my opinion, but it’s one that looks to the good in most people, regardless of nationality.
