So, sounds like NASA might be heading back to the moon. I personal think it’s about time we started exploring space, as a kid watching Space 1999 I really thought we would be out there by now, living and exploring space!
NASA is serious about sending astronauts back to the moon’s neighborhood and will likely unveil its ambitious plans soon now that President Barack Obama has been re-elected, experts say.
The space agency has apparently been thinking about setting up a manned outpost beyond the moon’s far side, both to establish a human presence in deep space and to build momentum toward a planned visit to an asteroid in 2025.
The new plans have probably already been cleared with the Obama Administration but have been kept under wraps in case Republican candidate Mitt Romney won the presidential election, said space policy expert John Logsdon, a professor emeritus at George Washington University.
