And they continue to be visionary beyond that, with space hotels and trips to the moon planned as well.  The near future looks exciting.

		<description><![CDATA[NASA plans to launch a spacecraft, named Kepler, in a few days on Thursday, on March 5. Â The mission of the spacecraft is to spend 3-1/2 years looking with its world&#8217;s-largest-cameras-to-go-into-space at 100,000+ sun-like stars, which is far more than the current 300 that have been sampled, and try to find life. Â The spacecraft is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China&#8217;s first lunar orbiter, the Chang&#8217;e I, is planned to launch in late 2007 to measure every square inch of land on the moon&#8217;s surface, in order to learn how much helium-3 (a non-radioactive isotope crucial for nuclear fusion research) is located in the moon&#8217;s soil. China is approaching space exploration in a three-stage approach: [...]]]></description>
