NASA Plans Lunar Outpost |
The NASA plan grew out of President Bush's Vision for Space
Exploration, which was announced in 2004 and calls for sending
astronauts back to the moon and later to Mars.

NASA Plans Lunar Outpost
Permanent Base at Moon's South Pole Envisioned by 2024
By Marc Kaufman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, December 5, 2006; Page A01
NASA unveiled plans yesterday to set up a small and ultimately
self-sustaining settlement of astronauts at the south pole of the moon
sometime around 2020 -- the first step in an ambitious plan to resume
manned exploration of the solar system.
The long-awaited proposal envisions initial stays of a week by
four-person crews, followed by gradually longer visits until power and
other supplies are in place to make a permanent presence possible by
2024.
The effort was presented as an unprecedented mission to learn about
the moon and places beyond, as well as an integral part of a
long-range plan to send astronauts to Mars.
The moon settlement would ultimately be a way station for space
travelers headed onward, and would provide not only a haven but also
hydrogen and oxygen mined from the lunar surface to make water and
rocket fuel.
NASA officials declined to put a price tag on what will clearly be an
extremely expensive venture.

This is the only thing GW has done that I like.
But we could just let the Chinese take over control of LEO and the Moon;
after all, no one ever said that English would be the language of the
future.

And if GW had taken that 350 billion and had put it into making the US
completely energy independent, the sand princes would just dry up and
blow away.
