I think we need a space elevator. Then we can really get rolling with the space exploration.

Blow up the moon!

Then we have massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and no major oceanic tides! Disaster!
And do you know how much force it would take to blow the moon into Mars! OUCH.

Besides... the Chinese are only planning unmanned probes... Some reports say the US is talking about a permanent presence, possibly at least partially military in nature.

Communist probes v manned military base. I think Capitalism wins again!

Has to be a negative one in every group.
