Moon Versus Mars

The debate still rages about the next logical goal for manned spaceflight-- the Moon or Mars.  Each side has its arguments and visions.

OPINION: The answer is to do both.  Go back to the Moon led by private and commercial groups, and give the early stages of manned Mars exploration to an international effort led by NASA, ESA, etc.  We can do two things at once.

NASA's not planning to go to Mars until the 2030s (possible Mars landing during the 2035 launch window).

So what is NASA supposed to do during the 2020s? Go to the Moon, of course:-)
