BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Nasa plans return to Moon by 2020
The US space agency Nasa has announced plans to return to the Moon by 2020.
Nasa administrator Dr Michael Griffin said four astronauts would be sent in a new space vehicle, in a project that would cost $104bn (£58bn).
“We will return to the Moon no later than 2020 and extend human presence across the Solar System and beyond,” Dr Griffin said on Monday.
After all the fuss of the recent return to space for the Shuttle this seems to be NASA harkening back to more assured days As Griffin admitted :
“We really proved once again how much of it all the Apollo guys got right.”
I wonder if today it will capture the imagination of the general public as it did back then ….
