The Standard - China's Business Newspaper: "Young Americans have high levels of apathy about NASA's new vision of sending astronauts back to the moon by 2017 and eventually on to Mars, recent surveys show.Concerned about this lack of interest, NASA's image-makers are taking a hard look at how to win over the young generation - media-saturated teens and 20-somethings growing up on YouTube and Google and largely indifferent to manned space flight.The 2004 and 2006 surveys by a Houston company, Dittmar Associates, revealed high levels of indifference among 18- to 25-year-olds toward manned trips to the moon and Mars."
