But, NASA is preparing to launch some robotic moon explorers beginning in 2-3 years. Something like Surveyor on steroids. They'll learn more from that than from the actual Apollo Ver. 2, and probably spend 5-10% of their moon budget in the process. Marshall and Goddard are on the team. Might be some hiring for those who want their career wrapped in plastic.
Well, that's interesting, I guess. Except that we've already been there and done that. Why can't we send then, instead, to one of the moons of Jupiter, or to Mercury?
Did you know that Deep Impact is still out there, and operational? The team expected that it probably would not survive the mission, but planned for the possibility that it might. There are many pondering what to do now with this "freebie" already in position to do some exploring. That's what you can get when you don't have to bring them back.
