While we agree with his thoughts on returning to the moon, Mars and the universe at large, we see a lot of  angry old man shaking his cane at today&#8217;s youth in his words. That always makes it difficult to separate the useful wheat from the crazy chaff. <\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Useful Bradbury<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He[President Obama] should be announcing that we should go back to the moon,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We should never have left there.

Lots of people aren&#8217;t. We can&#8217;t help but wonder how humanity will ever reach the stars without massive amounts of proven technology.
