In the post Apollo era this is what should have happened....
President Bill Clinton announces to the world that in conjunction with Europe and Great Britian in 1993 to establish the first permanent human colonies on the moon for the purposes of mining.Both to supplant dwindling resources on Earth and to reduce the environmental damage already inflicted to the ecology.
In 1996,the American ship Delaware,the British Trafalgar,and the European Space Agency vessel Hans Christian Andersen landed on the moon.Carrying a combined crew of 60 to be the first permanent lunar colonists.Their success was viewed as the beginning of what would bring a lasting peace between the nations of the Earth.
Not to be left out,in 1998.The Chinese Xin Tao and the Russian Kiev would be bringing 100 more men and women to live on the moon.
By the third year of President George W.Bush in 2003 transport to and from the moon had become routine do to the full deployment of the ion drive,and 983 men and women from 17 countries had established 12 permanent settlements.It was a wonder to behold.In this Great Adventure,humanity had lost it's need for war and power.
2008 had seen the completion of the Destiny Space Station.Where the construction of the Voyagers Quest would begin.The first ion powered interplanetary colony ship..It's destination...Mars
