It sounds exciting. I think this type of technology will be integrated into all primary education.

It sounds so good, at least based on the article. I imagine it will be integrated into standard early education for kids.

Yes. It makes me wonder if anyone believes these anymore. I don't know how they did it in the 60s. They had just barely gone 100 miles up, and they came up with a plan to send people 200,000 miles, land two of them on a gravity well, and get them back. It's insane. I don't understand how President Kennedy said something absurd, and it came true, yet now we say we want to do it again decades later, and it's all talk.

President Obama said he scrapped the plan to go back to the moon because he saw it as just recapitulating 60s technology development. He said he wanted "game-changing" new technologies instead. That made sense to me at the time, but maybe you need to fund rebuilding a project from the 60s, and then the game changing ideas will appear along the way.

I am unclear if President Trump's order calls for bringing back the program Obama cancelled or if it's more of a general statement of direction.
