Ugly, I'm with you on the fact that this is pretty neat. However, I don't think that they should be trying to develop a new spacecraft for going straight to the moon from earth. I think that we should just develop a way to go from Earth to the Space Station, then go to the moon via the Space Station. It seems to make more sense to me. Hopefully, this will set the wheels in motion to getting us to Mars. 2015 is still quite while away, so it's also possible that the idea will be scrapped in the next five years as another act of wishful thinking.
