Cool! NASA definitely needed to move past just the shuttles... I don't know if it's a good idea now, with this economy, but science is always a good thing. As long as we fund it well enough that is... but a moon base? Starting work on that is long overdue, I think. The shuttle was a good idea but it let NASA stagnate pretty badly. They also need to really work on that replacement for the shuttle...
