Isn't the idea LUNATIC? It looks so from my Beach Cruiser...

Sorry, the idea was found to be lunatic:

Actually, there are people of other religions who would like to colonize
space. For example, there are Indian and Israeli astronauts (one was
killed with the Columbia disaster) and Russian Cosmonauts. Not all the
people who are on the International Space Station are Christian.

In addition, not all believe in God. And many people who want to
colonize space are not believers in God at all.

Colonizing space is not the same as the shuttle program. Colonization
means permanent bases in the Moon or elsewhere.

But don't worry, Bush was bull****ting...

Obama must have found the mission lunatic.

Don't worry, I'll make science and reason prevail. The Christians are
the main obstacle to progress:

That's true, but they do believe in whatever a Republican president
tells them.

Did Bush say if we would explore the whole Universe or just a couple
of planets?

To be politically correct, the problem is not the Christians that ride
bikes, but that most of the Christians are older folks or couch
potatoes that don't vote about progressive issues. They mostly care
about keeping homosexuals, prostitutes and drug addicts in the closet.

If they hear that I propose Dutch liberal democracy, they'll freak out.
