To the moon, NASA!

In days of yore, Jackie Gleason would command:  To the moon, Alice!

These days, it is Donald Trump who issues such orders.  He recently signed Space Policy Directive 1, which directs NASA to embark upon “an innovative space exploration program” that would “return Americans to the surface of the moon and onward to Mars.”

This venture would plant a lot more than a flag on the lunar surface.  It would not only pave the way for a journey to Mars, but also “perhaps, someday, to many worlds beyond.”
