M_O_O_N that spells Mars

obama announced a few days ago that the U.S. was not going back to the moon, "because we've been there"
it would be a major achievement to send a manned mission to mars, but i think that mission would be an epic fail.
back in 1969 (if you don't believe the conspiracy theories) NASA sent guys to the moon with probably less technology than is in your fancy remote.
these days shuttles explode because a tile bought at a big box store came off during re-entry.
and for those that remember the first shuttle launch in '77 it was postponed because 3 computers couldn't agree on some timing.
i think NASA needs to go back to basics and at the very least go to the moon just for the practise of a manned mission.
