Back to Moon in 2015?
Mistress.Erin writes "NASA has announced they may send astronauts back to the moon as early as 2015, and may build an international base once they get there. From TFA:"The next mission to land a man on the moon will take place in 2015 at the earliest, the new chief of the United States' space program said on Monday, adding the mission could be followed by the construction of a multinational space station there. But NASA has not yet decided what vehicles will be used to reach the moon, or what will succeed the aging space shuttle fleet, which is due to be retired in 2010.""
I've also decided to go on a huge roadtrip in 2015, but I too have no idea how I'll get there... Nor do I know what I'm going to do with my current vehicle (a 1975 Honda civic) once it is scheduled to be retired (2010 at the latest). But don't you worry, I'll manage to pull it off somehow... ;)

Programming is like sex... Make one mistake and support it the rest of your life.
But still, is there anything on the moon that we can use/do that would be cool
The coolest thing would be that everyone can do the moonwalk. Awesome!

Today the Moon, 45 years from now the Moon again...
Hmmm... you got me thinking of the perfect person would could send to the moon
To paraphrase
We don't know how we're going to get there or do what we want to do once we get there, but by god, we're going.
Great., NASA is run by PHBs.
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
Why by 2015 we'll all have hover cars, and space travel will be commen place. We'll also have Robot slaves that will strike us down and enslave us later that year. Or Monkeys... Either one.
