...hard for you to understand the nostalgia many Americans feel for a reasonable return to the culture of small-town America-to its appreciation of education, traditional arts, the work ethic, hunting, community spirit and moderate churchgoing? Moderation and mutual cooperation within the international ?community are what we so desperately need in the U.S. That is the change that John McCain and Palin would bring.

The next steps for the lunar program are a soft landing with a moon rover slated for 2012 and launching another rover and returning with samples in 2017. While there have been declarations by some space officials of when China could put a man on the moon - Ouyang Ziyuan, the chief scientist of China's Chang'e lunar probe, once said 2017; the deputy head of the Shenzhou program said 2020 - there is no official timetable. The U.S., the only nation to land astronauts on the moon, says it hopes...
