It would take a f*** sight longer to happen if Prescott was making the decision to go!

"Nasa administrator Dr Michael Griffin said four astronauts would be sent in a new space vehicle, in a project that would cost $104bn (£58bn). "

Obviously the Americans know how to spend their money wisely :nono: :nono:

What do you mean "return" to the moon - they never went the first time, it was all a big hoax to divert attention away from Vietnam...

Cant they spend the money on say.. I dont know..

flood defences?

Or world poverty, aids vaccines, rebuilding of iraq etc etc.

I know it's gonna sound contraversial but i think it's immoral spending that much money on going into space when there's far more pressing issues back home

I thought the whole reason they've not sent a man up there since 1972 was that it was entirely pointless and injustifably expensive.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the moon isn't going to have changed much in the last 30 odd years so unless they're off drilling for oil what can they actually hope to achieve up there?

Some would say they never have been there!

The long term aim is to send a manned mission to Mars, but the trouble is all of Nasa's top men from the 1960's to 70's who actually worked on the moon missions have long since retired. This moon mission is just to get NASA back upto speed before they try and go to Mars.
