Has Russia still got all their archives and blue prints of the CCCP days? Wonder if NASA has asked the Russians if they could borrow some space junk sitting around rusting away in Russia.
Constellation Services International (CSI) of Laguna Woods, California.
Concept: Cheap Fare to the Moon via Cargo Freighter
Capacity: Combined Soyuz and Progress
Class: Cargo Vessel; Passenger Capable
Price: Contact CSI for quotes and schedules
CSI is primarily a commercial re-supply company for the International Space Station (ISS). However, we have a vision that includes taking average people on a trip around the moon.
CSI's inter modal architecture with standardized containers for space cargo delivery has other commercial applications, most notably as an affordable, near term capability for sending humans around the Moon, or even into Lunar Orbit. And by sparking a normal market driven trend towards more affordable cargo delivery to crewed platforms in Earth orbit, CSI will make new innovative markets for human space operations in LEO economically feasible, including large scale orbital tourism, satellite retrieval, maintenance, or repair, and exploration.

just think what nasa could do with all the money the US have spent "speading peace" in the middle east!!!
just for the record i dont think they ever went to the moon in the first place, i just dont see how they got round the problem of the radiation.

The same way they get around it today; proper shielding and minimization of exposure. The particle radiation contained in the van allen belts is best blocked by fibrous material similar to cardboard,
December 7, 2005: Every lunar morning, when the sun first peeks over the dusty soil of the moon after two weeks of frigid lunar night, a strange storm stirs the surface.
The next time you see the moon, trace your finger along the terminator, the dividing line between lunar night and day. That's where the storm is. It's a long and skinny dust storm, stretching all the way from the north pole to the south pole, swirling across the surface, following the terminator as sunrise ceaselessly sweeps around the moon.
Never heard of it? Few have. But scientists are increasingly confident that the storm is real.
Any survey of landing sites from Illuminati telescopes yet.
Can we ever verify the Lunar Landings.
