President Bush wants to send American astronauts (humans) back to the Moon, create a moon base and eventually send humans to Mars and even nearby asteroids. UPI says that Wednesday Jan 14 Bush will share his space plan to push robots. Bush wants to send American astronauts (humans) back to the Moon, create a moon base and eventually send humans to Mars and even nearby asteroids. Even though this plan may be decades away, more affordable robots will also be a big part of the plan allowing humans to explore other worlds in tandem with robots. The price tag could be in the $130 to $240 billion dollar range a year and even more in total! As one could imagine Nasa is probably getting excited at the money that may be coming their way since in years past they have had to endure drastic cutbacks. Of course some people think that Bush is doing all this just to shure up his election. Also, with 2/3rds of all craft heading to Mars ending in failure, many people don't believe sending humans to Mars will ever pan out.
