"If this or anything like it is approved, I will resign from the National Space Council's User Advisory Group. After years of me and so many others urging NASA to get out of LEO and go back to the moon and this time to stay, it would be too much to bear to now watch at close range it being ruined by a Mars fantasy, probably while other nations make a lunar land rush."
I don't understand this comment. The problem is not Mars vs Moon, it is commercial cheap fast paced cheap fixed-price contract vs oldspace cost-plus going nowhere contract.
