Your probably better to ask this from kmar, but is there any real point going back to the Moon?
More rock samples, dig deeper, etc. Do you know what the mission goals would be?

His FB status went something like this today.."..is stoked President Obama is keeping space exploration alive and my career continuing! NASA's Budget supports shuttle retirement, return to Moon."
I'll ask him.

Return to the moon, huh?
So they finally do it after they faked it in an Area 51 film studio back in the 1960s.
And while they're up there, they'll smash all the the Soviet Luna probes.

If nasa did something worthwhile when they got back up there, say, played volleyball or had a bbq, that'd be way better than looking at rocks,

Obama, you imbecile. You don't increase spending on shit like this when our economy is failing and our deficit is soaring!!
Aside from being one of the single biggest procuring industries for medical advancement, NASA makes coin commercially as well (like selling patents and sending satellites into orbit). They also operate on private grants.. private companies want the rights to what those brains come up with. Also, the amount that NASA gets compared to other government programs is very small. Many of those are complete failure.. like SS. It's not nearly as much as you think it is, yet it allows us to do what is at the very core of our human existence, exploring. Modern advancements, like gps and cell phones, are just a side benefit to this embedded desire to progress.

NASA should work out a way to exploit the resources of the area within the immediate vicinity of Earth. You know like mining the moon and asteroid belt.
