NASA selects astronauts from ohio because it has a private agreement to farm out contracts to ohio.

Sort of like how certain kingdoms in the dark ages only hired mercenaries from particular countries.

Territories tend to produce particular kinds of people of a specific, defineable temperament and psychological template that are more numerous in those particular territories, and more preferable, than in others.

In the same way israel and judaism are a dune-esque 'arrakis' type arrangement for mass manufacturing fanatically-devoted cultural mercenaries, like a literal line item in a ledger book, ohio is the defense contractors plantation for spacemen and aerospace manufacturing, loyal, and stupid, to a fault.

How about not being a scolding cunt for a change? No one listens to a nag.

Yeah, we don't have the old space ships preserved, and lack all the ground stuff to support it. But with technology now it should be pretty easy to go to the moon. I'd assume that a lot of the challenge with current space vehicles is trying to bring cost down so more things can be put in space. It was the point of the space shuttle, to have a reusable vehicle to lower cost (not sure it really did that). With a moon mission cost isn't nearly as much of an issue.
