Building spaceships in our backyards

Have you ever wanted to build a space ship? I'm not talking about a make believe space ship made out of pillows and blankets and chairs, the kind of things kids make. I'm talking about a realy outer space rocket that could travel to the moon. I really want to go to the moon. I think that the moon is the next frontier and that we could try to bring some of our home there and make settlements on it. But how long will it really take? Don't you sometimes wish that building a space shuttle or going to outer space could be just as easy as calling your friend on the phone and going to a movie?

Well the truth is that we could all be building space ships in our back yards if we all were friends and cooperated and worked together. After all, if the people at NASA were our neighbors and friends we could just call them up on the phone and ask them for blueprints. We could email each other plans and data. We could truck each other building materials. What I'm trying to say is that money creates a barrier between people that stops them from cooperating with each other. If everyone is expecting money in return for everything, how can we give each other blueprints for data sheets? How can we give each other rocket boosters for airtight windows?

Don't you ever get bored of playing basketball in your back yard or growing gardens? Now that we are living in the space age, why can't we all be building rocket ships and going to the moon? And now that our world is suffering from carbon emissions, why can't we be building new energy efficient cars in our back yards? Why do we have to let all the powerful companies do all of the work? Doesn't it feel like an empty life just working a job to get paid to pay the bills? Haven't you ever wanted to do more and dreamed about how much you could do if there wasn't a price tag on everything?
