President Bush

Has outlined a new plan for getting the U.S. to the Moon by 2015. It will also free us from the International Space Station and retire the Space Shuttle by 2010. He talks about a new dual purpose vehicle that will be capable of getting us to the ISS and the Moon. The goal for a Moon base is 2020 and for man on Mars by 2030. If I'm lucky, I'll see man on the Moon (as opposed to man in the Moon) but I will have to be very lucky to make until we reach Mars. But my mother is 89 and still kicking so who knows.
