When it arrives at the Moon, after a 15-month voyage

Well, 40 years ago it wasn't so... slow!

To the moon, Alice.

I know a few I'd like to send to the moon.

They are still working on energy production and resource recycling. Trying to extend the times between restocking water/air/food. Not too mention making it more financially feasable to get there and back again.

Remove all the stupid government regulations against exploiting extra-terrestrial resources and let the private sector go nuts...

The unmanned Smart-1 craft, which is due to be launched in early September, is flying to the Moon to demonstrate that Europe has the technology for future deep space science missions.

Great - just what we need, France on the moon. There will still be no hot running water.

Humans could be living on the Moon within 20 years, says a leading lunar scientist.

One word needs correcting:

Humans could be living on the Moon within 20 years, says a leading lunar loony scientist.

Any long term plans to set up a lunar base are bound to rely on international co-operation.

What for? So france and germany can whine continuously?

I'm sure you've heard about the only restaurant on the moon: The food is good, but there is no atmosphere.

Absolutely correct. It will be called People's Liberation Army Outpost Red Flag One, and commanded by General Xiao Zhu.

Moon colony 'within 20 years'

Sounds like a good relocation site for Gitmo once Cuba's gone democratic. Gonna have to put those aging Talitubbies and al Quaida dead-enders somewhere, ya know...

I kinda like looking up at a beautiful full moon and knowing its still a vast untouched space. I wish it could stay that way.
(yeah, I know we have been there..but no 711's or McDonalds are there..yet.)
