Now isn’t time to travel to the moon

To the editor:
    So, we want to go back to the moon … or to Mars? Oh for crying out loud, stay home! And take care of the planet you got!     It’s like borrowing money to go on vacation when you can’t pay the rent or feed the kids! This country is drowning in debt; I can’t believe we are even thinking of space exploration!
