Going Back to the Moon?

A lot of talk recently about the US going "back" to the moon again.

We've been saying this for a while, actually. I found this piece from 2005 saying we'd be on the moon in 2018. Hmmm... what happened?

Anyway, there seems to be a new space race, with China in particular going to the moon, and it seems the US wants to beat them back there.

I wonder if we have to quickly mock up some old lunar landing spots...

Or no one will ever go there, and we just keep threatening to go there for some weird reason.
