Sorry America, We're Not Going Back to the Moon!

Sorry America, We're Not Going Back to the Moon! - forbes.com

Excerpt from this article:

"If you want to accomplish something great, you don't look at the technology you've already developed and ask, 'what can we do with it?' Instead, you must look at the goal you want to achieve and ask, 'what will it take to accomplish this?' You also have to provide funding for it, and plan it on a realistically short timescale."

 Recommended sermon:

Moon Madness, by Dr. Ian R. K, Paisley (1926-2014)

This sermon was preached on July 27, 1969 - One week after Apollo 11 landed on the moon.  The text Ecclesiastes 7:29 (Audio):

"Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions."

While I recommend you listen to this whole sermon, here are a few quotes:

"It's not the moon we need to reach. It's the God that placed it there."

"There's one of the cartoons...that's utter blasphemy. Man's sitting on the moon with his feet upon the world. 'The heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool.' That's how far man goes in his blasphemy against God....There's coming a great ruler, and he'll say the same thing: 'I'll sit where God sits!'"

"I know people who sat up half the night to see it, but they never sat up half the night to consider, 'Where will you be in eternity?' What a fool you are!"

"The greatest day in man's history was when Jesus rose from the dead. He brought in a new creation, which shall last longer than the sun and the moon shall endure, and the heavens as we see them today."
