We can send a man to the moon...

Not with currently available hardware we can't.

Sunita Williams has entered the shuttle to take the right-side seat on the middeck. The spaceflight rookie is riding the shuttle to the International Space Station where she will join the Expedition 14 long-duration resident crew and replace departing crewmember Thomas Reiter. A European Space Agency astronaut, Reiter will return to Earth at the conclusion of Discovery's flight to complete a half-year in orbit. Williams will remain on the station until STS-118 next summer.
