WASHINGTON — NASA may be going to the same old moon with a ship that looks a lot like a 1960s Apollo capsule, but the space agency said Monday that it's going to do something dramatically different this time: Stay there.
Unveiling the agency's bold plan for a return to the moon, NASA said it will establish an international base camp on one of the moon's poles, permanently staffing it by 2024, four years after astronauts land there.
It is a sweeping departure from the Apollo moon missions of the 1960s and represents a new phase of space exploration after space shuttles are retired in 2010.
NASA chose a "lunar outpost" over the short expeditions of the '60s. Apollo flights were all around the middle area of the moon, but NASA decided to go to the moon's poles because they are best for longer-term settlements. And this time NASA is welcoming other nations on its journey.

The India / China / Russia program will likely get there first, they seem a bit more serious.

Hmmm...
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me
Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you

ok.... i think i see where this is going...
Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in
my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You
know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer
for
Someone I really could care for
And then
there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will
hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when
I looked to the Moon it turned to gold
Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my
heart
Without a love of my own

Agreed.
I like the way comics writer/blogger/friend of Joss, Warren Ellis re-worded the headline on his blog:
'NASA Announces Moon Colony Plan: Next Year, Will Claim To Have Been Drunk and “Emotional”'.
"I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him."

NASA Nazis lied in 1969, and they still can't figure out how to do it. But then it's not lying to go to the "moon" (lower case), defined in dictionaries as a Hollywood stage on Earth. The planet Moon that orbits planet Earth is spelled in upper case. Will NASA be smart enuff to add rocket exhaust to its fake video next time the Lunar Landers "blast off" from the moon set? Will NASA name its moonscam for Satan, again?

Is there intelligent life on planet Earth? BLUE SKY on "mars" set proves NASA is faking it again. How can NASA parachute rockets on Mars which has almost no atmosphere? How come the "Mars Rover" never runs out of electricity when solar power is so weak, and never tips over during Martian hurricanes?
