The Constellation program was supposed to return America to the Moon-- to stay!
But in the words of President Barak Obama on April 15 "Now, I understand that some believe that we should attempt a return to the surface of the Moon first, as previously planned. But I just have to say pretty bluntly here: We’ve been there before." So the President Obama makes it pretty clear that he sees no value in a permanent human presence on our closest neighbor in space.
