That's nonsense....the Moon is nothing like Mars. The closest we can come to Martian conditions is in places around the Arctic tundra region of Canada or the dry valleys in Antarctica. The only reason why they're going back to the Moon rather than Mars is because Bush made it the priority instead of Mars. All the Moon is going to do is get in the way of going elsewhere. That's why Buzz and the other astronauts a few weeks ago were pushing to go to Mars instead of going back to the Moon. We can go back to the Moon later if we want to, and they know it.
