Bush's Moon Base. Can it be done?

In fact sending a man or woman anywhere into outer space,
meaning anywhere beyond low-earth orbit of 250-300 miles
which is nowhere near "outer" space, since even the Moon
is ONE THOUSAND TIMES further out in space than any rust-
bucket "shuttle" would ever dare venture, sending humans
into outer space would be like roasting them over a fire.
Now I like GW Bush, but he knows a man can't survive any-
where beyond the safety of low-earth orbit for more than
just a few hours. It can't be done. It's just a campaign
subterfuge.
So, in case NASA got on with it, what would you regard
as proof of astronauts on the moon this time round?
