It's not a knowledge gap, it's a financing gap. We already know how to build roads, but they still cost money right? We can spend a few tens of billion and get to the moon like in the 1950s and 60's during the height of the cold war. But how is that going to work out politically? I'd like to see one of the presidential candidates announce it "we're going to fix social security, the economy, healthcare, take care of national security while ensuring civil liberties, and oh yeah we're going to spend $100 billion over the next 2 years to get to the moon"

NASA's budget was 0.5% of the GDP in 1966. Today, that would mean $65 billion.

If it were up to me, that funding would be allowed, and also NIH would get $120 billion. Spending just over than 1% of GDP on NASA and NIH is well worth it.

Yet when they landed on the moon back then, they had 10% of the technology we have now, YETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

they have to prepare and make new crap to get there again?

It just doesn't make sense.. they went there with some crapp ass rocket back in the 60's as they state, yet they need what now?


Come on, some shit they say just doesn't make sense whatsoever, IF they truly went to the moon in the 60's they could go there anytime they want. Instead of spending countless money just to go around the earths orbit they could of went to the MOON in the 90's and early 2000's yet " THEY need to prepare and fix equipment "

no they dont !

With all the time and money they have had, they could have produced something that works, or even looks like it works.
