Journey into Space

Our current president has set a goal of creating a moon base then sending a manned mission to Mars. Although set for completion several years in the future, such goals may likely lead to more common space travel. However, to really make man leap to the stars, it will be necessary for profit to be seen in it. Whether it be the finding of precious materials on the moon, the invention of a new metal only manufacturable in null gravity, or the cheapening of transport to space in order that tourism may become possible.
