This neat little story from Spacedaily.com shows a step-by-step for NASA's return to the Moon, and reveals a few more details about the vehicle itself.
It does have some interesting new features. It can be re-used up to 10 times (possibly more once they get going), carries four to six astronauts to the Moon and lets them stay almost a week, and it makes a ground landing via parachutes.
It is like Apollo on steroids!
Supposedly it will be carrying crew and supplies to the International Space Station in just five years. That would surely be a kick in the pants; a booster shot for NASA.
And they sure could use it...
