 | Commercial Lunar Mission Saw this on Astronomy.com. A company called TransOrbital is going to launch a spacecraft to the Moon called TrailBlazer. They are also planning more missions for the future. The company seems to have interest both in making money and doing scientific research. This could start to pave the way for Commercial companies sending people to the moon. Commercial Lunar Mission Article Noah

| Hypographer       | Commercial Lunar Mission Yeah, I noticed that one too. Well, I guess it will have to happen, sooner or later. I saw one article on the BBC News website which claimed it would be like the "Wild West".  Let's book tickets before they're sold out! Anyone for Mars? Nah, let's hit Saturn! Tormod
