Neil Armstrong has urged a return to the moon to train for missions to Mars as the United States contemplates the future of its space program following the end of the shuttle era.
The first man to walk on the moon is due to address the US Congress on new directions for NASA in coming weeks.He has previously criticized US President Barack Obama for being "poorly advised" on space matters and said it was "well known to all that the American space program is in some chaos at the present time, some disarray".
"There are multiple opinions on which goals should be the most important and the most pressing," he told a function in Sydney late Wednesday.
The US shuttle program came to an end last month with Atlantis cruising home for a final time, 42 years after Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission.
