Space, I believe in space

Fans of the glory years of the space program can rejoice. NASA is going back to big rockets with capsules. The capsule will be Orion and the rocket will the large Ares 1 and the giant Ares 5. They even sound like retro-60s Atomic Age programs. Interesting notes from the article, the last shuttle flight will be in 2010, and the first Orion launch, with humans, will be in 2014. So will we be relying on the Russians until then? Also, NASA back on the moon by 2020 and then onto Mars. Then we can debate which sci-fi novel comes closest to getting the first Mars societies down. I'm psyched my kids will be teens or near teens when all this gets going. It could be very exciting for them. Start the excitement with the Walt Disney Treasures: Tomorrowland disc. You may have to rent it, as it is out of print.
