NASA/ESA Plan for the Moon

NASA's plan to return to the Moon and establish a permanent base while NASA-led, is not NASA's alone, and if it happens is going to probably involve a lot of cooperation between NASA and other space agencies, especially the European Space Agency (ESA). To that end, NASA and ESA have been working together trying to figure out where it would make sense for this cooperation to occur, and the first document discussing this is available here. Regardless of what you think about NASA's focus on returning people to the Moon and eventually sending them to Mars, the process is interesting - at least to me.

Hope you enjoy. Please leave comments below, I'd love to read your thoughts about this issue.
