To the Moon, Alice! And then to Mars!

In the "about darned time" department, just found the following in this news story:

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — President Bush will announce plans next week to send Americans to Mars and establish a permanent human presence on the moon, senior administration officials said Thursday night.

Bush won't propose sending Americans to Mars anytime soon; rather, he envisions preparing for the mission more than a decade from now, one official said.

In addition to proposing the first trip to the moon since December 1972, the president wants to build a permanent space station there.

A little premature to celebrate, given that he hasn't even announced it yet, and when his his daddy said something similar almost 15 years ago it didn't come to anything.

But oh, man, I'm so hopeful...

I'm all for Bush establishing a permanent residence on the moon.
I wish he'd moved there years ago.
