First Commercial Moon Mission Approved

dorantrist writes "A Discovery Channel article that The U.S. Government has just licensed the first commercial mission to the moon to TransOrbital, Inc.. Part of the mission is "to VERIFY Apollo and other landing sites" because there are still a few people out there who believe the Apollo program was a hoax. --Maybe they can also pickup the golf balls left by Alan Shepard?"

    Research involving radiation or dangerous biological agents could be done on the moon with little danger of releases to Earth's environment.

    Now that the USA is reaching the limits of consuming, polluting and destroying our planet, it's time to start wrecking the moon? The attitude of your average US citizen just constantly astounds me. Why can't they think beyond the next stockholders meeting?
