That depends on if they send this probe to the same locations the Apollo missions went to. I don't know anything about this probe, but considering the enormous cost of sending ANYTHING to the Moon it doesn't make too much sense to hit the same spot again.

As for regular expeditions to the Moon, I would think there would be a point where they start sending the vehicles from orbit and just send the crew up to fly it. I see no reason to not make the ISS bigger (or a different orbiting facility entirely) and assembling the vehicles in space.


Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
