The Next Greatest Human Adventure...?

Any of you that know me for any period of time know that I am a GIGANTIC space and human spaceflight junkie.

Before hitting the sack the other nite, I saw something that struck me as fantastic and I thought I would share it with you.

"NASA Unveils Moon Program"

With this short headline, my head filled with visions of man once again stepping foot on the Moon and achieving a new understanding of Human Spaceflight.

I encourage you all to read the article and - sadly - to also hope that the timeline in general gets bumped up. The plan is to be on the Moon in 2018. I will be 47-48 years old, and surely all of the current Apollo astronauts will be gone. with the possible exception of Buzz Aldrin's frozen talking head that will somehow be preserved. :)

Oh, the "heady" days of Yuri Gagarin, The Apollo Program and more...

Be sure to read the article at CNN.Com and also visit NASA.Gov for even more details and some breath-taking concept art as well as a continued viewpoint following as we inch ever-so-slowly to 2018...
