It's been decades since man walked on the moon, but that may all be about to change. The USA are not the only country interested in exploring our lunar cousin. Japan says that by 2020 they plan to send astronauts to the moon and within a decade of that date have a lunar base. China is planning to launch a robotic lunar obiter this fall. India, Russia and Europe have all said they plan on getting to the moon too. The USA has their Constellation program whose aim is to have men back on the moon by 2020. It's good to think that we as a race will venture back into space, it used to be that is was assumed that it would be Americans on the moon, but perhaps not.
