    Neil Armstrong apparently wants men to return to the Moon.

    This isn't new but I only came across it now;

    http://news.discovery.com/space/armstrong-return-moon-mission-mars-110825.html

    These are the main points of the article spoken by Neil himself.

    "I do favor going to Mars but I believe it is both too difficult and too expensive with the technology we have available at the current time," and continued;
    "I favor returning to the moon. We made six landings there and explored areas as small as a city lot and perhaps as large as a small town. That leaves us some 14 million square miles that we have not explored."

    Interesting to know that one of the three Apollo astronauts agrees with the general consensus about returning to the moon. I am also of the belief that a return trip would be better than travelling to an asteroid.
