take you to the moon and back

it appears nasa wants to send man to the moon again. (i kinda doubt that someone was actually there, but it's different topic). the mission would be warming-up for mission to mars. while that's all nice and shiny, it's a multibillion project, and contract is already won by lockheed martin. i found the picture on site that's linked to this post, and photo is from reuters.

it would be able to carry 6 men... so probably i'm not going to go there in a near future. the vehicle (a.k.a meanmachine), called orion (just like the cat in men-in-black) is planned to do it's first drivearounds (manned one) in 8 years from now (2014), and guys will take it to the moon by 2020.

so, let's all stay alive to see it happen.

i'm going for out for a little bike-ride, and for a relaxation with my sister. then some hour or two of studying and then my hardly earned beauty sleep. maybe even a post... who knows.
