"Some of the most influential leaders of the space community are quietly
working to offer the next U.S. president an alternative to President
Bush's 'vision for space exploration'--one that would delete a lunar
base and move instead toward manned missions to asteroids along with a
renewed emphasis on Earth environmental spacecraft."
See http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewnews.html?id=1267
"Their goals for a new array of missions also include sending astronauts
to Lagrangian points, 1 million mi. from Earth, where the Earth's and
Sun's gravity cancel each other out and spacecraft such as replacements
for the Hubble"
To anyone who joined the L5 Society before it became NSS, manned
missions to the Lagrangian points hold special significance.
I hope they happen.
