Sure, we still have a lot to do on Earth, stopping wars and disparity of nations first of all, but that JFK's space decision was crucial in following peaceful defeat of Evil.

And yet ... they will be gone soon to welcome advancement. But will anyone want to come back? And what makes them come back?
