I, for one, like this new bloke. Building mountains in the desert and making rockets. If you say graffiti the moon, I'm IN.

....but we don't need rockets. As much as I LOVE to see em blast off, I'm not for it.

There could be a space cadet corps.

School students could be encouraged to join the space cadets as a supplo-curricular activity.

The activities of the space cadet corps need not take up much space, either within the curriculum, or the real world. In any case, however, there is plenty of space available.

The space cadets could attend an annual camp on the last frontier, as part of the corps program.

I’m with Belly on this one.

Maybe we should start a new party? How about “The Other Things Party”?

Just one thing Parallel Universes, isn’t the round trip to the asteroid belt about ten years?

That’s a long wait for your next tin foil hat!

PU,
Why not approach this government, they are allways looking for ways to spend our money.

Garret is good at it, he wasted heaps on the pink bats thing and Julia herself intigated the school halls fiasco, where billions was wasted. I have forgotten who thought up all those other schemes that failed, like grocery watch, fuel watch and cash for clunkers.

They haven't came up with much recently but the illegals entry keeps the spending up. The latest scheme is for 'Quad watch' because a few have been killed off quad bikes. So they are going to set up a committee and ask for submissions and fly people to Canberra to sit on the committee. Still that is only petty cash.

I am sure your scheme would be in there with a good chance for funding and don't worry about thinking it through, the government is good at launching half baked schemes.
