15-20 years from the time we start cleaning up the Nazi Socialist mess we’ve fallen into. Less than that if we just start packing democrats into impact space vehicles aimed at the moon. Then again, do we really want to pollute the moon?
I’m hoping by 2012 when we do a test shot sending BO and company to the moon.. one way of course just to see how many folks we can actually send up at one time for colonization efforts down the road!
