Now, it is a possibility that we will go back to the moon. But with all the safety percautions of today... it would take approx 20 years from when the program began to the first lunar landing.

Errr I know I may sound sarcastic but if there were so many safety precations then why did the space shuttle blow up in the first place. From a television show I saw it seems like Nasa experienced the same mentality that happened when the Apollo-1 disaster struck.

They have been working on a replacement for the Space Shuttle for years, and I have the back issues of Pop Sci to prove it.

They were is the appropriate term. That replacement shuttle was scraped for budget reasons and actually if I remeber was only designed as an escape pod from the ISS.  If you watch Transformers one of the minicons that forms the starsaber is actually modeled after it.

I forsee more research and work on the ISS. Maybe they will even finnish it one of these days. I have a poster on my wall with the build schedule from 1998. It projected it to be done about now, but it is at about mid 2001 on the schedule.

The ISS was started during the Regan years.
