Developing one that can reach the moon would cost a bit of money. Energia is still in existance so that might be our best bet if we want to go there soon, just buy them off the Russians. Although I'd rather get them moved closer to the equator so that more payload could be sent to the moon as well as to avoid that fuel wasting orbit plane change. Energia is also part reusable (not very reusable though) which could help reduce costs. nobody wrote: > Thank you for info, All I knew was there wasnt enough money in NASA's > budget, > Now I know the details. > > "Ryan Healey" <ryanhealey@primus.com.au> wrote in message > news:3DAEB536.AA6A2F2D@primus.com.au... > > We don't have the rockets to reach it anymore. > > > > They stopped making the Saturn V.
