It seems that we might be returning to the Moon and travel to Mars within our lifetimes.
That is amazing. Check the following links for more info:

While orbiting the Moon in a deep space outpost may be exciting it makes sense to have a base at the surface too – check the cave for potential inhabitants:

The small space station orbiting the moon may seem small and the Bigelow inflatable modules can help improve that:

And because bigger is better here is Elon’s vision for the Big F Rocket (BFR):

Before we land on Mars we need some postcard perfect pictures:

I remember watching the moon landing when as a ten year old standing in my grandparents bedroom in a village in Bulgaria at the border with Serbia and Romania (that’s where the small black and white TV was perched on a small table) behind the back of all our neighbours. Someone (maybe my grandfather) lifted me up and stood me on a chair. I can’t describe it. You have to experience it.
