2 men have been remanded in custody foe the killing of the CS forums. One man pleaded guilty to a previous Eharony scam and a file is being sent to the DPP. Both men are in their 30's and have Polish passports. If found guilty they could be facing 5 years in a cyber prison for insane traffic wardens.
With the substantial completion of the ISS in March 2011, plans for space exploration by the USA remain in flux. Constellation, a Bush Administration program for a return to the Moon by 2020 was judged unrealistic by an expert review panel reporting in 2009. The Obama Administration proposed a revision of Constellation in 2010 to focus on the development of the capability for crewed missions beyond low earth orbit (LEO), envisioning extending the operation of the ISS beyond 2020, transferring the development of launch vehicles for human crews from NASA to the private sector, and developing technology to enable missions to beyond LEO, such as Earth/Moon L1, the Moon, Earth/Sun L2, near-earth asteroids, and Phobos or Mars orbit. As of March 2011, the US Senate and House of Representatives are still working towards a compromise NASA funding bill, which will probably terminate Constellation and fund development of a heavy lift launch vehicle.
In the 2000s, the People's Republic of China initiated a successful manned spaceflight program, while the European Union, Japan, and India have also planned future manned space missions. China, Russia, Japan, and India have advocated manned missions to the Moon during the 21st century, while the European Union has advocated manned missions to both the Moon and Mars during the 21st century.

Chandrayaan-1 is India's first mission to the moon. The unmanned lunar exploration mission includes a lunar orbiter and an impactor called the Moon Impact Probe. India launched the spacecraft using a modified version of the PSLV is C11 on 22 October 2008 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota. The vehicle was successfully inserted into lunar orbit on 8 November 2008. It carries high-resolution remote sensing equipment for visible, near infrared, and soft and hard X-ray frequencies. Over its two-year operational period, it is intended to survey the lunar surface to produce a complete map of its chemical characteristics and 3-dimensional topography. The polar regions are of special interest, as they might contain ice. The lunar mission carries five ISRO payloads and six payloads from other international space agencies including NASA, ESA, and the Bulgarian Aerospace Agency, which were carried free of cost. The Chandrayaan-1 along with NASA's LRO played a major role in discovering the existence of water on the moon.

The Russians have always been about 10 years ahead in the "so called space race " There is no race actually. The Japanese space program Jaxa are showing lots of interest in the moon lately.
The Japanese(Jaxa) moon probe "Selene" which was launched in 2008 and eventually crashed into the moon's surface gathered lots of very interesting data about the moon. The Japanese have refused to share that info with Nasa and also the photos they have of the far side of the moon.
Japan have made it clear that they have plans to land on the moon in the next 10 years. This news has caused a lot of worry for Nasa who have recently annonced a 2018 moon landing.
The Russians as usual are staying very quiet on this subject and 2 weeks ago launched another manned rocket to the space station.
RE: Who or what killed CS?
This post is only an hour old and is already at page 7 !!What makes you think CS is dead ???
