And it took 8 years.
Back in '04, Bush said "Let's go back." and it's going to take 16 years.
Why? Because this time around it must be safe. Squeaky clean safe. No more test pilots dying by the dozens, no more capsules catching fire, no more school teachers lost at sea.
This is the Live-Forever generation that will brook NOTHING to do with DANGER.
WASHINGTON -- "NASA announced Monday it will establish an international base camp on one of the moon's poles, permanently staffing it by 2024, four years after astronauts return to the moon.
It is a sweeping departure from the Apollo moon missions of the 1960s and represents a new phase of space exploration after space shuttles are retired in 2010.
After consulting more than 1,000 experts from 14 different countries, NASA decided on what deputy NASA chief Shana Dale called a "fundamental lunar approach" that is sharply different from its previous moon missions in nearly everything but the shape of the ship going there."
