I <br>hope that in my lifetime I will get to see an united federation of <br>space exploration (FOSE) ;) I knew about the north pole impact mission, but the moon base is soo
cool. It almost feels as if NASA is adament at making arthur c

I wonder why space exploration is done by each country by itself?! I

In fact, it's so expensive that, with cutbacks on funding, NASA is having to delay plans to get back to the moon. Luckily, we have the LRO and the LCROSS, the first of which is mapping the moon, and the second will send and impact vehicle to test for water at the poles of the moon (I think it will impact the northern pole). Here is an article regarding making a permanent outpost on the moon by 2024. I think we are already off schedule for it: <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2006/12/05/moon-base.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2006/12/05/m...</a> Well the moon is definitely expensive.

That would be so awesome, and awfully expensive. Unless... Mr Spock lends a hand :) Where did you hear about a permanent outpost on the moon?! That would be so awesome, and awfully expensive.

Science Fiction becomes Science reality so quickly nowadays. With the goal to have a permanent outpost on the moon... Well, my interest is piqued. I am excited for it, too.
