Supernova Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 They did everything they set out to do. They ARE going back soon, this time with 4 men on a new launch vehicle. The idea is to start Moon base for Mars. The main issue with NASA now, is the ISS project. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html September 19, 2005—Today NASA unveiled plans to return humans to the moon by 2018. Astronauts will travel in a new vehicle that combines technologies developed for the space shuttle and Apollo programs. The last lunar landing took place during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. The new plan is expected to cost about 104 billion U.S. dollars over the next 13 years. If successful, the plan will help President George W. Bush achieve the vision for space exploration that he outlined on January 14, 2004. At that time Bush said his goal is to return humans to the moon by 2020. Bernie.
