That is some incredible footage, I hope it proves inspirational so that more people will be enthusiastic and optimistic about returning to the Moon with manned missions. There's never been a mission in my lifetime, and I hope the ones scheduled for 2018-2020 ish don't end up getting swept away after Bush leaves office.
