Don't ask me why I continue to post here (I am not even a good writer)
Perhaps just in case there's that one kid out there that might just read something posted here that perks up their interest and/or curiosity in Space and all these missions we are starting to get off the ground, including (hopefully) ours.
I knew of Space X's successful landing after 5 attempts (they're obviously going nowhere...in a GOOD sense) Hats off to you Guys & Gals over the there keep it going.
But the most interesting aspect of this mission was that it returned from delivering an 'INFLATABLE HABITAT' for NASA to the International Space Station.
An inflatable room that will be attached to the ISS for a 2 year human test...NOT on the outside surely?
This will get folks talking, you know what I mean if you've seen a number of posts recently from concerning the ISS
not here of course 
As I've suggested previously Facebook is the place to get the most updated news on LM1
So head there if you want updates or main postings, there's a fun pic of Darryl's lad there and another good speech from Angela promoting LM1 from which a few things hit me...
"We are getting people signing up everyday" yes but I have been curious for awhile now as to how many we now number? remember the discussion over at the Kickstarter page asking if there would be a weekly or monthly subscribers update? to see how well we were progressing. whatever happened to this? also there's a section in which Angela says "We were told the public were not yet ready to fund a space mission" I have always LOVED space and anything to do with it...and most kids do I am sure but then sadly most either grow up and out of it (thinking it's childlike) or are side tracked, it's such a shame as this in the long run is where we are heading (like it or not) having said this I am still not convinced we are really ready to fund JUST a space mission (I pray and hope I am wrong and will happy to be so and will need to be so for us to get this off the ground)
The real reason I thought this had a BIG chance with the public was the Data/DNA part of it...marketed right and with FUN it could work.
Keep your fingers crossed...I have.
Summer is nearly upon us, so this could quiet possibly be my last post for awhile...enjoy the Sun & Enjoy your Holidays.
Oh and just on the off-chance that any aliens are reading this and passing by our Moon
PLEASE come and pick me up, I would love a trip around it and a few minutes in high orbit looking down on our BEAUTIFUL PLANET EARTH...I am deadly serious...just don't scare me to death in the middle of the night & if there's probes then forget it
