ON TOPIC, what where pin ball games like before flippers?

OFF TOPIC, no reason to go back to the moon with humans, since robots can do the job better and cheaper, and we have no way of staying there long term; there was some experiment a while back of a self contained colony enclosure on Earth somewhere in the US desert where they tried to produce their own food, water, and air. I can’t find the article, but they had to abandon it because the air became toxic after a very short time. I agree that they need to figure out how to live in a hostile environment closer to Earth than jumping out to Mars unless the only reason to go to Mars is to say we did it and then abandon the project because it costs too much or is too hard to do long term. It will be hundreds of years if not a thousand before we can colonize Mars.

Especially if we can’t RAISE taxes, pay OFF our dept (not just not adding to it) AND fund NASA to the tune of 10 times it’s current budget. Never mind the education crisis, the infrastructure crisis, and the job outsourcing/ insourcing war on the middle class crisis.

Ok, I will get off of my soap box now, but you guys started it.
