From the upcoming lunar reconnaissance orbiter to the plans to have humans set foot on the Moon again, for the first time in more than 50 years.

I saw the mock up of the new luner capsule last December on a visit to Nasa in Florida. It's quite exciteing to see there will be a return to the moon in my life time. The new capsule is considerably bigger than the first one with a four man crew.
