The L.A. Times has a lengthy article about the multi-nation effort to get back to the Moon. You can bet I have a lot to say about this, but I don't have the time right now. Just read the article and you'll get a sense of what a lot of different people are saying about this. My own thoughts are complicated, and perhaps a multi-part blog entry will be forthcoming once I get them organized.
