He introduced the &#8220;REasserting American Leadership &nbsp;in Space Act, or &#8220;REAL Space&#8221; Act as HR1641. This follows an <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ac\/20110408\/pl_ac\/8238755_florida_representative_challenges_obamas_embargo_on_moon_travel\">open challenge<\/a> to the lack of manned space flight that the Obama Administration has proposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bill has some pretty hefty goals, such as &#8220;The National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall plan to return to the moon by 2022 and develop a sustained human presence on the moon&#8230;&#8221; which is read to the common man as &#8220;BEING AWESOME&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you go all whiny &#8220;NASA is a waste of money&#8221; on me and make me shoot you in the face with a nerf gun, the bill has a list of findings that back up the claim that we should build a moon base, <a href=\"http:\/\/drmcninja.com\/archives\/comic\/11p18\">like Dracula<\/a>. It&#8217;s noted that Congress passed a the NASA Authorization Act of 2005 which stated that the primary goal of NASA&#8217;s manned space flight should be to &#8220;develop a sustained presence on the moon&#8221; and that NASA has been ordered to build a heavy lift shuttle, yet with no clear goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does this add up to? Goals for our young ones, just like I had as a kid. Now, however, they aren&#8217;t just looking to float around Earth, but to possibly go live and colonize the moon. The bill just has to go through Congress and the Senate, then survive President Obama&#8217;s desk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the source link for the full text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources: <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ac\/20110424\/pl_ac\/8357271_rep_bill_posey_introduces_back_to_the_moon_bill\">Yahoo!
