Trump orders NASA to return to the Moon

Mirror? Why would I want to see Italy backwards?? And anyway, I still can't see Italy when I climb up on my roof, but I can see the moon from my roof.

No, I was talking about a retrograde mirror, it shows things exactly as you would view them, not backwards......Make one big enough and high enough (the mirror, that is), aimed right and in the daytime anyway, you will see Italy or any other country out there.

If I get up on my roof to see the moon, the dam trees are in the way......

Will I be able to see footprints in Italy if I get this retrograde mirror?

It's not hollow, either. The Earth may be hollow - I'm keeping an open mind about that - but the Moon is too small to be hollow. There just isn't enough room inside for it to be hollow.

Anyway, if we're going to the moon again, we wouldn't be sending teo or three specialist astronauts. Thst would be of no value to our ultimate aim of sending Ark B to Mars.

No, we're going to need a bigger vessel. Something that can carry a few dozen people to a Lunar ecpedition. Maybe something like a... moonbus?

Let's see. If it is 3000 miles high in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, that would be a circle about 18000 miles around and the hubble chops up a circle into 25 million parts (0.05 arc seconds of res) So if the hubble were to be in line with the retrograde mirrors you would be able to see features about 4 inches across so yes.

You need to move your roof to Rome.

I thought dam with the added n would be robocensored. I do have a river 2 blocks from my house. The Lehigh river.

Like a worried couple staring at a broken condom, this sentence really needs a period.

Not heard that before.

If all you want is to see Italy from your roof, yes. If you want to see it from your windows, you'll need to bring them, as well.

I have heard just now, that Trump wants to cut the US contribution to fiance the moon trip.

It won't work, and as someone pointed out on the net someweher else you could end up with no moon mission and the space station cancelled... 🙁
