You're right, cat, but this one is just such an easy target, it's not even a challenge!

Assuming anyone was up to making the effort, this would be good for 8-10 pages of derision.

Sounda lika plan to me. Dems are also thinking about making R's rich.  This way the Republicans can develop the area around the Park. The Starwood  could build a pretty good hotel-resort there. Disney-Skywalker Park. Universal Alien-Predator Park. The Michael Jackson Moonwalk Stage. Las Vega Cassiopeia Casino Strip. Shoot-The-Moon Arcade. Century21 Estates.

The bill from Reps. Donna Edwards (D-Md.) and Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-Texas) would create the Apollo Lunar Landing Sites National Historical Park. The park would be comprised of all artifacts left on the surface of the moon from the Apollo 11 through 17 missions.

 

The bill says these sites need to be protected because of the anticipated increase in commercial moon landings in the future.

"As commercial enterprises and foreign nations acquire the ability to land on the Moon, it is necessary to protect the Apollo lunar landing sites for posterity," according to the text of the Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act, H.R. 2617.

Under the legislation, the park would be established no later than one year after the bill passes and would be run jointly by the Department of the Interior and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).



 

.... someone get them the Outer Space Treaty (that the U.S. signed, btw) to read
