While it's not as much of an immediate concern as how we'll get someone to the moon, it might be worth thinking about what we'll have that person do once they're there.  It would be nice to have some scheduled lunar EVA activities which are in the aid of science.  I don't mean raising public awareness of basic science, like dropping a hammer and a feather at the same time and observing the identical rates of fall, but actual bona fide science – either experiments we perform there or something we take back from the moon to be analysed on Earth.  Are there genuinely interesting experiments which can be done on the moon by a single person with limited equipment?

Main CLLARE workgroups: Mission Planning, Navigation and Guidance. I do maths, physics, C, Python and Java.

Well, we can collect small sampels of everything interesting to bring back. Also, there are probably certain sites or types of sites that are substantially different from any previously investigated. Perhaps some of the lunar lava tubes that were in the news recently.

Main work groups: Propulsion (booster), Spacecraft Engineering, Computer Systems, Navigation and Guidance (software)

i think we should sell a commercial to be filmed on the surface of the moon think how much sponsorship we could get for that?

i think we should also run test on radiation on the surface, seismographs, chemical analysis i don't know what else could we do?

Actually, this isn't a bad idea.  This could be like a multi million dollar sponsorship.  I mean, that's how much they dole out for superbowl ads.  And who's to say we couldn't try and do a couple.  Or maybe we could auction off who gets to have our ad once the project get going/has recognition.

As far as Lunar experiments, we could have scientists submit and vote on specific question or things they'd like done and take maybe like, the top five? most popular ideas.

maybe i like the idea of advertising nascar can do it so can we (we will going a lot faster though!)

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not only because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." JFK speech to Rice University 9/12/62
