Here's the article:
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewnews.html?id=1199 And here: http://www.space.com/news/060316_nasa_moonlander.html Quote: NASA has been rethinking its robotic lunar exploration strategy over the last 18 months and recently concluded that it has no immediate need for any unmanned Moon missions beyond the heavily-instrumented Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) currently in development for a late 2008 or early 2009 launch. So, it seems we won't have a moon lander soon. It's a bit worrisome, because original plans called for lunar landers, lunar rovers, sample returns and so on. |

Oh, please, no one get me wrong. I'm 1000% for a robust unmanned lunar program, really. I think there is an awful lot left to be learned about and from the Moon.
And personally, those bright sun-soaked sands beckon me. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
