NASA announced this week that it plans to ______.

The American Space Agency NASA this week announced plans to send astronauts back to the moon. They will use a newly designed shuttle and the mission should take place by 2018. It will be NASA’s first return to the moon since 1972.
     "One small step for man" again. The latest American space plan will see astronauts repeating a journey first made over 30 years ago. A new rocket which looks very much like the old one will follow the trail first placed in the 60s. A new lander which also looks a bit familiar will carry four astronauts to the lunar surface.
     Look at the footage of the original Apollo missions: the same shaped rocket, and the same kind of craft that descend onto the moon itself.
   "That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
