IMHO both space and ocean exploration are vital to our existence. As kids we watched Rocket Man, Dick Tracy, etc with amazement. today many of those technologies are not only available they have been vastly improved upon. I do believe the moon can be colonized and should.

China is the prime instigator in cyberattacks because they prefer to steal technology rather than develop their own. Probably owing to the pressure on growh from a country with 1/3 of our population.

In line with this thinking is building a stronger defense. Obama is paring back much too much. We need to build better, more and need to do it quickly. we should not be cutting back on military personnel. there is no peace didvidend in the offering.
