A Mansion on Mars probably.

[27kdon]

Several months later I still find this video awe-inspiring and a tremendous source of motivation...

[ANWRocketMan]

America, good luck on your home front battles. But while you're reaching for the future, please don't forget your human brothers in the rest of the world.

[krinord]

None will be able to say this better than Neil, because he isn't reading a script. This is what he really feels, knows and burns for.

[CrawfishLover94]

Derpdy derp, shut up.

[Camilo19832001]

I would happily give my money to nasa. I may not see what the future will hold but spending now will make sure our children and grandchildren will enjoy it.

[rodrigo barata]

makes you want to donate! that's motivation right there...or excellent marketing :D love this guy, he inspires!

[theskepticplatano]

the question is why it has more than 200 thumbs down. Who are those people?

[splewy]

Spot on. Congress just plays for the next election and the average person is far too stupid/ignorant to even understand space travel, not to mention its massive positive effects. I think the overall culture has changed in this country too. People are more greedy and selfish. There's little sense of collectivism or national pride. People just want to hoard as much money as possible, so taxing them to pay for space exploration (which they don't understand) is unpopular.
