Forget the Moon, go right to Mars

Seems John Glenn is attacking the President's desire to build a space station of sorts on the moon. That would be a stepping stone towards launching to Mars directly from there. Is Glenn attempting to cover up the fact that man has NEVER even landed on the moon? Is he fearful that word will get out that the stunt pulled back in the '60s was none other then a filming crew somewhere, NOT on the moon?

What's better? Here's what NASA has to say:

“We’re going to do the research that’s important for us to fulfill the president’s vision,” Mahone said.

Yeah. Let's listen to a guy who knows nothing about the space program and suddenly dismiss years of research to do what he wants. The guy can't be all that bad. Look at what he brought to the Rangers organization!

NASA is a joke. Perhaps they should explore the ocean floor to discover what that looks like. We're mapping stars and space and we have no idea of what lies on the bottom of the ocean. Better yet, dismantle the entire space program, freeing up billions of dollers in the process and apply it towards education, feeding the homeless, building up the economy, and give some money towards law enforcement to keep our streets safe for our kids.
