The Americans are planning an ambitious attempt to go to the moon by 2020, all good stuff but from what I last read theres not actually any new money - its just a shuffling around of existing funds - and I guess the next administration will quietly shuffle the blueprints away. Never mind - the Swedes are going to the moon, and rather than just footprints (which is not the only thing the moonwalkers left by a long chalk, it includes: a golf club, poo, photographs, a feather, a laser beam reflector, descent stages (all used - no resale value), moon buggies, flags, plaques, golf balls, a record (not sure about this one), cameras and Nixon's signature) they intend to leave a small, traditional, red Swedish cottage.
