Seriously, the can't do people, like the naysayers here, would never get to sniff at such a project.

Actually, a page back I said that SpaceX will be on the Moon before NASA.
NASA cannot do this. Someone else can, someone else who has the same balls as they did in the '60s. I also never meant to infer that we won't ever get there, I only think that anyone who says "we did it before, we have more tech now, so it'll be quick and easy!" is a fool.
It would take at LEAST 10 years, with the kinda of budget devotion that was given Apollo for us to *possible* get to the Moon. Then, we really need to get to the Moon 6 times out of 7 tries, which is much harder.
