Get Your Ass to the Moon

Sorry Quaid, we've been busy inventing other stuff since 1969 so we haven't exactly gotten back to the moon. We're going back soon though, in 2020. See, NASA even made this neat video to show exactly how it will work. I know, 51 years seems like a long time but I guess it's kind of like Iowa. Once you've seen it, you don't really feel the need to go back any time soon. Besides we've been busy working on those flying cars and robots and look how well that worked out for us.

Let me just state for the record that Generation X got screwed on the whole space exploration thing. The Baby Boomers got a freakin moon landing, Generation Y (or Z depending on how it goes) is going to mars, and we got the International Space Station. I've seen Babylon 5 and Deep Space Nine and, as space stations go, the ISS isn't exactly exciting. It doesn't even have a worm hole!
