NASA Ready Goes To The Moon

WASHINGTON - While NASA will not soon return to the Moon in the near future, will not be long before the space tourists will probably overrun the former Apollo landing sites.

Chances are helping rekindle support for the claim on the moon landing site as a reserve or national park history, thus ensuring the site was safe from interference.

From 1969 to 1972, NASA put the mission on the Moon 6. Each landed in different places, but in each of these landing-astronaut astronaut United States (U.S.) always leave artifacts. Apollo 11, the first mission, leaving a variety of goods, from the "camera, lunar TV" to a set of urine collection.

This summer, NASA has released guidelines on the protection of artifacts and the landing site. They announced a no-fly zone covering an area of ​​1,200 hectares around the site the first landing mission, Apollo 11, and the last one, Apollo 17.

What made him hurry? NASA has begun to get inquiries from two dozen or more teams competing for $ 30 million Google Lunar X Prize, for those who managed to land a robot on the surface of the Moon with independent funding.

This increases the likelihood of private spacecraft landed close to the 'footprints' Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong on the Moon. Similarly, as reported by Physorg, Wednesday (11/16/2011).
