To not go back for 10 years is reasonable, but 30 years? Naaa. I don't think so. There must be someone there already. The incredible amount of secrecy in the Space program says it all really. Regular trips to the Moon with todays technology would be easy, and in any case, such moon trips would be a neccesary preparation for the Mars mission. U think we are going to Mars? No chance, IMHO
Oh really? I had a bit of information that this has been in planning for several years.

You don't have to believe me, but it's pretty well documented that there is an effort to prepare such a mission right now.
