Everyone Is Going to the Moon, Except the U.S.

June 2, 2010 (LPAC)—More than 450 delegates from 26 nations have gathered this week in Beijing, for the Global Lunar Conference. The 350 technical presentations will include the lunar exploration plans by at least China, Europe, Russia, Japan, India, and South Korea. The conference was organized by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) to promote coordination among the space-faring nations in mankind's exploration of the Moon. Opening presentations were made yesterday by China, the head of the IAF, the European Space Agency, and Canada. While the international plans focus for now on unmanned missions, the goal of each of them is for manned missions in the future. Until the Congress kills President Obama's proposed plan to end Constellation, there is no plan for the United States to pick up where it left off, at the end of the Apollo program.
