Mission: Back To The Moon! (Lee Hae Gyu Billy)

NASA announces a plan to get astronauts back on the moon by 2018
The last time a spacecraft landed on the moon was 1972. Fast forward to the year 2018, when the next lunar landing is scheduled. By then, NASA (the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) plans to get humans safely back on the moon.
Michael Griffin, the head of NASA, said it is important to invest in space travel, even as the nation struggles to rebuild after Hurricane Katrina and deals with other problems. "The space program is a long-term investment in our future," Griffin said. The crew vehicle project will cost more than $104 billion over the next ten years.
A New Space Vehicle
The new crew vehicle design will use the best technology and design from both the Apollo and the space shuttle. Apollo 11 was the first spacecraft to travel to the moon. In addition to lunar travel, the spacecraft will also be designed to travel to Mars and the International Space Station.
The new plan would have astronauts on the moon for a week, which is more than twice as long as the Apollo missions. The new space vehicle is designed to carry four people to the moon. It can also carry more supplies than other spacecrafts.
Eventually, the craft will make two missions to the moon each year. The goal is to create a permanent station on the moon where crews will stay and work for six months at a time. The lunar station would be similar to the International Space Station.
Apollo 11: One Giant Leap for Mankind
On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong did what no other human had ever done. Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. He was soon followed by astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Moments after his first step, Armstrong said the now famous words, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
"By and large, the Apollo folks got it right," Griffin said.
