The 40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing

Thanks, baudot, FellOnEarth, and Lufy.

I was wondering when someone would bring up these points.

Haven't in a long while, but for several years subscribed to NASA Tech Briefs magazine. Noticed that permutations of circuits and processes first encountered in Tech Briefs tended to show up in commercial and industrial products several years after their first publication.

NASA is open to informed public commentary on "Exploration Beyond LEO" (Low Earth Orbit), and has several background PDFs, and a response form at http://www.nasa.gov/offices/hsf/members/subgroups.html.

The major questions posed are:

(1) What are the appropriate destinations and sequences of exploration for
human exploration beyond LEO?
(2) What should be the mode of surface exploration (if any)?
(3) What is the strategy within the human space flight program for coordinating
human and robotic exploration?
(4) What are the assumed launch vehicle(s) to LEO in terms of mass to orbit and shroud diameter?
(5) What are the options for in-space fuel/oxidizer storage and transfer?
(6) What is the role that space technology research and development will play?
(7) What is our strategy for engaging international partners in the development of the program?

This.
