russia, india and china will lead the way in space exploration...it is not cost effective to do anything in the USA...india went to mars on their first try at 1/10th of the cost...the USA lost the space race to russia a long time ago...and now big dick china is entering the arena...theres enough helium 3 on the moon to power the earth for 1000-s of years...china wants it and is probably going to get it...
meanwhile the USA wasted trillions on wars...
