Pat sez: "Europe may settle the Moon and Mars before the U.S. space agency can get its big, fat bureaucracy into gear."
The European Space Agency (Esa) believes that by 2025, the technology will exist to send humans to Mars.
It is considering two flagship missions to find a suitable landing site for astronauts and to bring back the first sample of Martian soil. A decision on whether to send humans to Mars could be taken as early as 2015.
