Stephen Hawking, has called on the world to dedicate a meagre 0.25 per cent of all its financial resources in a push towards setting up settlements on the Moon, Mars, infinity and beyond.
He suggested first shooting for the Moon again in 2020, and maybe a human mission to Mars five to ten years later.
Again? Men have been on the moon before? And I thought that was all staged in a desert in Nevada.
