Title: 40 years ago
Post by: Lioned on 16 July 2009, 11:09:21

They landed on the moon ?

Reasons for going to the moon......

1. To prove that you can

2. To claim terratorial rights and all the minerals that go with it

3. To establish if it is suitable to 'colonise'

4. To conduct scientific research

5. ?

Reasons for not going to the moon

1. Because you can't

2. The cost is prohibitive

3. It is far too dangerous to risk lives.

4. It is made of cheese and we already have enough of that

5. ?



Apart from that why on earth (or on moon ) would you take this dune buggy ?

Surely having established you are going to the moon this piece of equiptment would be totally surplus to requirements and just add unecessary weight to the 'payload' ?
