Moon Colony

MSNBC reports that NASA wants a 'beachhead' on the moon. Beachhead, like the marine term for amphibious landings -- although proper analysis of the term also requires me to point out that beachhead could be a euphemism for public displays of fellatio on a sandy coastline.

Here's the actual headline so you don't need to click the link:
NASA plans bigger moon base, sporty rovers
Space agency wants to land three large habitats to build moon beachhead

Beyond having fun with the term beachhead the article also mentions 3 habitats and 2 rovers capable of two week treks on the lunar surface.

Lately I have been having a hard time believing that NASA has any substance behind these plans. More importantly, I don't believe that the US government is capable of doing anything as cool as sending people to the moon. My money is that the google space x prize will be more fruitful.
