*“We need to reshape our space efforts away from flags and footprints
stunts and toward the use of resources of the ocean of space to benefit the
environment ad economy of the Earth.  Any child in the 1960s could tell you
in four words why America was committed to the Apollo program; to best the
Russians.  The principal reason that we need to explore and utilize the
Moon can be expressed in these four words.  To save the Earth”*
