Artemis One countdown…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

All eyes this week are on “Artemis One”<\/strong> and the beginning of manned flights back to the moon, and eventually Mars. The NASA Program had been in relative limbo, in regard to these manned flights, until President Obama<\/strong>, channeling his best JFK in 2010, said it was time to get the rockets firing on these new goals. But it would be going back into space in a “smarter way,” he added. Trump and Biden have been ‘on board’ with this as well. As president, I wouldn’t be. We have pumped $90 billion, and counting, into the Artemis Program so far, to take ‘man’ to the moon and Mars — where there is no gravity, no breathable air, no water (to speak of), no soil to grow crops in… I mean, if God would have wanted us in these places, He would have made them, well: readily habitable. Meanwhile, on this<\/em> planet, two billion people are food insecure; one billion people don’t have access to clean drinking water; one billion people live in deplorable slum conditions… What’s more, climate change catastrophe is everywhere now. <\/strong> As president, I’d take this money, and technological genius, and funnel it into projects to help our<\/em> world become much more sustainable. Note:<\/strong> If one looks up at that rocket on the launch pad, and squints, he\/she might even be able to see a version of the “Tower of Babel,” fueled, of course, by modern man’s tremendous hubris. Note 2: <\/strong> “But Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or without adequate shelter…?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
