NASA to unveil plans for 2018 moon mission
By Brian Berger, Space.com
WASHINGTON - NASA briefed senior White House officials Wednesday on its plan to spend $100 billion and the next 12 years building the spacecraft and rockets it needs to put humans back on the moon by 2018.

Moon To Back
I'd like to understand more of their motive for going. From what I remember, we didn't learn all that much from the moon itself. If the powers that be are trying to perhaps use the moon as a "stepping stone" on the way to farther places, the maybe it's beneficial to see how our new technology can get us there and back, and see if it's feasible to make the moon into a space station. Other than that, I don't see what can be gained.

It sounds like the best way to field test the equipment that will be used on the eventual trip to Mars. That way if something goes wrong, there is the chance the astronauts can either get back to Earth or be rescued. That's the only reason I can think of as we have all the seismic data we will ever need, it consists mostly of basalt, there's really no mystery left...unless NASA hopes to build a colony

Now, isn't this interesting. Russia proposed to the US to team up in order to explore the surface of the moon but NASA rejected even though they have a shortage of experts to implement the program.

| The head of Russia's space agency says that the US has rejected a Moscow proposal that the two countries join forces to explore the Moon. "We were ready to co-operate, but for unknown reasons, the United States have said they will undertake this programme themselves," Anatoly Perminov said. US space agency Nasa has said it plans to start work on a base on the Moon when astronauts return there in 2020. Nasa has not commented on Mr Perminov's statement, reported by Interfax news. Nasa and Russia's federal space agency Roskosmos have experience of working together on the International Space Station (ISS). The construction of the ISS has relied heavily on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to ferry personnel and supplies, particularly when all US space shuttles were grounded as a result of the Columbia disaster in 2003 in which seven astronauts died. And Mr Perminov announced that Roskosmos had signed a "contract for nearly $1bn" with Nasa to supply cargo shuttles between now and 2011 for the ISS. .. |
