I really really hope this is true.

When President Bush delivers a speech recognizing the centenary of heavier-than-air-powered flight December 17, it is expected that he will proffer a bold vision of renewed space flight, with at its center a return to the moon, perhaps even establishment of a permanent presence there. If he does, it will mean that he has decided the United States should once again become a space-faring nation. For more than 30 years America's manned space program has limited itself to low Earth orbit; indeed, everyone under the age of 31 — more than 125 million Americans — was born since an American last set foot on the moon.

I really hope this is true, and its not because its GW doing it, I'd have applauded Clinton or even Carter in a heartbeat for the same type of action. Space exploration is where the future of mankind lies, the long term benefits can not be denied, and every dollar is a well spent investment in our survival as a species.
