Just a small post to wish all the people a merry christmas and an happy new year for 2010..
Just have to wait for 2 days and we will switch to a new SF year !  If we follow the famous book "2010: odyssey two"  from author
Arthur C. Clarke we would have been on Moon and start traveling accross our Solar System, and installed a
Mars Base Camp...  Where are NASA, ESA and other occidental actors ?

Will Indian or Chinese space agencies reach first these great targets ?
