sourceThe manned space program heats up as NASA unveils its plans for a lunar base and finds signs of flowing water on Mars.
It's getting hard to find many Americans who remember where they were the last time men set foot on the moon. Not only had most of us quit paying attention to lunar landings by then, but 48% of us hadn't even been born by December 1972, when the last moon walkers left the lunar surface and headed for home.
But the U.S. may be bound for deep space again. In a rare double hit of good-news headlines last week, NASA announced first that it has firmed up its plans for America's return to the moon and then, two days later, that it had discovered signs that water had flowed on the surface of Mars within the past seven years. Where there is water, of course, there could be life.
