NASA used for propaganda in the crisis again

Meanwhile the economic turmoil hit the US and world economy as hard as never before in the past 80 years the new US administration plays the propaganda card again. So is the new America change we can believe in? Or is it only only propaganda?One part of this propaganda is the good old "Man in the moon" story. 

See here an excerpt of an interview by CNN with  Robert Richards (CEO of Odyssey Moon Ltd.):

"CNN: Cast your mind ahead to 2020. What kind of role do you expect the moon to be playing in the lives of people in 2020?

Bob Richards: In 2020 the moon is going to be part of our human society, of our economic sphere. Human beings will be there. I think the private sector will outpace governments for a while, but the governments will be working in concert and we will be establishing a moon base, prospecting for resources, we'll be trying to understand how we can utilize the moon for the benefit of life on Earth.

We'll also be utilizing the moon as a platform for launching ourselves for other adventures, to planets like Mars and beyond. That will be our world in 2020."

So this is really funny. We shall believe that the moon will be a colony of the US by 2020 :))))

Aren' t there some other problems on earth we should solve before? Is this not only a nice propaganda show to make people who suffer a lot from stupid wars like Iraq, Afghanistan, international bank crisis, etc. to believe in their country again? 

See here an excerpt of a BBC report from 2005 showing that already under the Bush administration this moon tale was used for propaganda :

"Nasa plans return to Moon by 2020

The US space agency Nasa has announced plans to return to the Moon by 2020. Nasa administrator Dr Michael Griffin said four astronauts would be sent in a new space vehicle, in a project that would cost $104bn (£58bn). "We will return to the Moon no later than 2020 and extend human presence across the Solar System and beyond," Dr Griffin said on Monday." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4261522.stm Sad but true. The US get caught up in turmoil and the NASA shall foster the believe in this "great nation" again. It is really sad that they continue to lie to people and to waste their money for a rediculous propaganda TV show. Who shall record the moon landing this time? Steven Spielberg? It is similar to 1969. First they record a movie like Odyseey 2001 and later they announce a moon landing (taken in a studio :-) )  Now we seeThe Day The Earth Stood Still   in the movies and later we land on the moon showing to the world how great this country is. I only hope the fake will be better this time. The world is already laughing about America and their men in the moon :-)
