In 1963 President John Kennedy set up a time line to put a man on the moon and safely return him by the end of the decade. A goal that was met when Neil Armstrong dropped to the Moon's surface on July 20, 1969. Not bad for 6 years work.

So now Bush want's us to go back to the Moon which NASA is scheduling for 2018 some thirteen years from now. Why so long? Have we forgotten the stuff we knew back then? Did someone misplace the map (turn up at the space station). Did Bush mention anything about getting the astronauts back?
