The Way I See It, Commercial Interests Should Manage A Lunar Base While Nasa Gets On With The Really Important Task Of Flying To Mars.

In Space, You Don't Get That Much Noise. Noise Doesn't Propagate In A Vacuum.

We Really Didn't Devote A Lot Of Time To Investigating The Scariest Aspects Of Our Flight. It Was More Challenging And Productive To Concentrate On The Remedies, And Leave Things That Couldn't Be Solved To Happen Without Thinking About Them.
