The moon is close and nearby but there's not much reason to go. No resources, no minerals, little to no water.
What we should be doing is sending a probe to land on EUROPA. It is the best candidate in the solar system to have life outside of the earth, and going there is not that expensive. If fuckhead douchebag Gingrich would take his head out of his ass and commit funds to Nasa to send a ship out there, his name might be forever tied to the First Discover of Alien Life, the way Kennedy's name is tied to the moon landing.
I really really hope Obama can turn the economy around and then ask Nasa to do it. I would rather see Obama's name associated with amazing discoveries than fuckhead Newt.

QFT.
Space travel today in any sort of distance for humans is impossible. Just in case you missed it.

Because the amount of extra weight it will take to keep them alive and get them back will make the mission doomed. Going to the moon is fine. It's the distance between the Q and W on your key board, Mars is going to the Kitchen. EUROPA across the street. Not sure of the exact distances, couldn't find it on Google, so just to give you an idea of the problems.
The size of the universe is something few comprehend.
I spend too much time watching NAT GEO on TV.
