Worldwide Focus On Going To The Moon

MojoT writes "There's an interesting piece over at Space.com regarding the current renewed interest in returning to the Moon. Quoting: 'Earth's scuffed up and trampled Moon is once again targeted for high- tech visitors. Robotic spacecraft from several nations, as well as NASA and the U.S. Department of Defense, will be first to chalk up lunar return mileage.'"

    Man always wondered if the moon was made out of cheese.
    In 1969 man landed on the moon, and found out it was not cheese.
    Since then, no one has returned.
    Behold the power of cheese.

    Are we now going back to double check our findings?

    ... This time when setting up the soundstage, add a little color, hell maybe even have them pixar guys whip up a couple of "aliens" ... because we all know that going to the moon and aliens are part of a governmental conspiracy ... And that the moon is just part of a "Death Star" with a giant "Laser" ... next you'll tell me there's plans to go to mars, I would argue that mars doesn't even exist!

    Man1: I wonder if we're goin' to the first moon or the second moon.
    Man2: WHAT second moon? You're drunk.
    Man1: No, I read it on Slashdot. Slashdot says there's a second moon. There might even be a third.
    Man2: (drags man1 out through the back door and points at the sky) What is that?
    Man1: The moon.
    Man2: Do ya see any other moons up there?
    Man1: No.
    Man2: But you're going to believe there are a bunch of other moons because some crackhead Web site told you so? (man1 looks perplexed, but doesn't say anything, so man2 grabs his drink and guzzles it) Come on, let's go to a nudie bar. There's lotsa moonin' there, but no more drinking for you!
