Prior to planting their boots on the lunar regolith, however, the next man and woman to visit the Moon will have to go back to school, as mission planners prepare their tools for the upcoming mission.

"The Moon holds vast scientific potential and astronauts are going to help us enable that science," Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, explained in a NASA statement yesterday. "This report helps outline a path forward toward the compelling science we can now contemplate doing on the lunar surface in conjunction with human explorers."
