NASA plans permanent base on moon

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - NASA said on Monday it plans to build a permanently occupied base on the moon, most likely at the lunar south pole.

The habitat will serve as a science outpost as well as a testbed for technologies needed for future travel to Mars, and construction will follow a series of flights to the moon scheduled to begin by 2020.

Hmm... So what does this say about the supposed existing moon bases?

It's funny. I was watching the news and they mentioned that the "first astronaut would land on the moon in 2019". I mean, I don't know if this was a mistake, or if they meant that would be the first astronaut on the project, but I still found it funny.
