As long as the US doesn't plan to claim the moon and mars for itself, I'm cool with it ^^

I think that the Moon and other planets are international/don't belong to anyone, but I could be wrong.

Good way to waste tax money. Go back to the moon, where we've been already.

But at the rate this planet here is getting polluted, we may need to set a foot or two on the nearest one soon, just in case. :)

Gotta go to the moon to get to the rest of them, unless you're going to lift all that material out of the Earth's gravity well.

So, basically. We have to pollute the moon and the other planets? NICE ONE!

Yeah we're totally going to DESTROY their FRAGILE ECOSYSTEMS.

"gravity well"

I like that phrase.
I hope to use it in conversation as a metaphor to describe a situation that is difficult to reverse/change.
