[i]Human lunar return had been abandoned as a goal toward which we and our partners would work...[/i]

[i]As strange as it may sound, for the 40 years my dad and I have have been talking about space, there has been relatively few times that we have talked about the moon. Been there, done that. The moon seemed a distraction from the real goal — Mars. But over the past several years the moon has come back as a critical element in his thinking. It is the place where the transition from development to exploration takes place. The focus of U.S. policy should be on establishing the transportation, infrastructure and habitation systems around the moon to enable commercial and international development of the moon. The focus of exploration should be on getting to Mars.[/i]
