(via) As the Bad Astronomer points out, this is exactly what NASA should be doing more of. But as one of his commenters points out, it needs to be where people can actually see it. As BAB suggests, these things should be playing as trailers at theaters before SF films. Maybe then we'd get some widespread popular support for the space program going again.


That said, like one of BAB's commenters says, I have serious doubts about the utility of another Moon mission. Come on, folks! Let's go to Mars already! Fast, cheap, and out of control...
