Have A McMoon Sandwich

There are those that believe that the moon is made of cheese - green cheese to be specific. I beg to differ. With these words, I launch this blog. 

Today, the Space Shuttle Atlantis touched down for the last time, bringing to a close the 30-year voyage of the Space Shuttle program. Of course, I like many others wonder what's next for NASA and the space program? Money is the obvious issue, and as it was said long ago, no bucks, no Buck Rogers. 

Of course, there is the hope that private industry might pick up the space flight slack, and continue to push humans further in to space. I can't help but feel this won't come to pass, however. Instead, what I fear is that commercial interests will aspire to develop the greatest advertising platform mankind has ever known. What I fear is that ... when future generations look up to gaze at the our heavenly lunar host, they will see the following: "McDonald's - I'm Loving It!" emblazoned across the moonscape.
