Amazing the time span, pleased they have hooked back into the Space Race ... least get back to the moon to reminisce and maybe go in search for that famous golf ball.... I knew this would be right up your alley Nick.

Yep, now we've just got to wait till the SLS launches in 2018. After that, the way is clear to go into deep space with people
