This video talks about the initiative to return to the moon and by 2017 begin to establish a permanent manned base as a launching point for trips further into the solar system. The program would allow scientists to develop ways to live in space for longer periods of time. These methods can then be applied to other more advanced missions. Much of the video gives a layout of step by step how the trip to the moon would hypothetically have to be accomplished.

The video which was made in 2007 was obviously created before the Great Recession prior to which the trip was economically feasible. However when Obama took office he cancled the project. The video does however give an idea of how excited scientists and the public were for a return trip. Since this video scientific advancements have been made which could have contibuted to the mission.
