I think it's a great idea. I was surprised Clinton didn't suggest something like this.

Even if it's not 100% feasible, the US gov't is the only entity in the world that has the financial capabilities to accomplish something like this without potentially bankrupting itself. The technological advancements that we could gain as a society would be worth the money spent.

I hope that this continues to get a lot of press. Republicans, unfortunately, often times don't get excited about stuff like this so there's a chance that this may fizzle out if people don't jump on board.
