I don't mind a mission back to the moon, however, I don't think it should be an international mission. Us yanks should control the moon, Mars and beyond..

I wonder what the North Korean Lander would look like?

If we are going back to the old tried and true way of getting to the moon, then lets remember that was a American effort not a international one. Keep the construction in house.
Look at the current iss and then look back at Skylab.

International cooperation and design by committee has done wonders for the ISS, can't wait to see this applied to a lunar lander.
Did I sound sarcastic? No really, did I?

great.
Another partnership that we can spend money supporting, instead of really doing something meaningful, in something besides low earth orbit.
We didn't learn anything from our "partnership" with the Russians on building ISS.

International - Barf! Noway.

About the only benefit to making something like this international is that congress tends to support it over long periods of time.
It's not about going to the moon in congress' eyes, it's about maintaining "good international relations with our partners".
This is the only thing that spared the ISS the congressional chopping block in the 90's.
It's only value is in symbolic posturing internationally.

No. No. No. HELL No.
I'm working with a Belgian group on a NASA project right now. ITAR is a *nightmare* for international collaborations. I don't want to *think* about how that affects man-rated hardware.
