People may be willing to pay a good amount of money to take a trip to the moon.

All I'm saying is, we only got seventy years to have a huge world war, so some guy in Montana can invent the warp drive, and meet the Vulcans.
Come on, people. Starfleet isn't going to invent itself.

Sorry, I don't keep track of all the names and shit in the race. But it's definitely something people would be willing to dish money out for. Adventure is worth money, not to mention the breakthroughs in technology and science we can make simply by doing some of this stuff instead of talking about it in theory.

I've always been fascinated with the space program because it will eventually be where the G8 end up going.

LOL, I like how you want to seem like that's obvious, yet your earlier point was that there was 'nothing out there worth getting' in the first place. Nice backpedal.

Of course there is, the bounty of uranium and other heavy metals in space is any corporation's dream. It isn't at all about there not being incentive to go up there, its just the technology to do what would need to be done hasn't been developed yet.

In the future, we need no booze.
We get our kicks from discovering new worlds and civilizations.

If it really worth it to go, they will pay someone to make what they need to do it.
