Space professionals and enthusiasts have had a powerful desire to return to the Moon since the last Apollo astronaut left there in 1972. The Bush call for exploration of the Moon and Mars was the boldest space goal since President Kennedy called in 1961 for sending astronauts to the Moon. That goal was accomplished with six manned flights between 1969-1972. A new cheaper, simpler human transport spacecraft – known as the crew exploration vehicle – would replace the shuttle. The CEV, which would be something like the old Apollo capsules, would have its first unmanned flight test in 2008 and be ready to take astronauts to the Moon by 2015.

Is there another target at the same or lesser energy distance as the Moon that you have in mind? Because Apollo didn't have a bunch of other places it could go. It was built to go to the Moon. It did. The next worthwhile targets are Mars, and Earth-crossing asteriods, and in terms of Apollo hardware you are talking 20-30 Saturn V launches, minimum, for either of those targets. It isn't exactly, "Hey, we have a spacecraft already, let's just take a run out to Alpha Centauri!" |
