Not at the rate we are progressing... :-(

IMHO...
Judging by the cuts on NASA financing, and the sorry monetary state of Russian space project, no, unless private enterprises take over the effort and spend the billions of dollars necessary to a regular, reliable line to/from orbit.
Even so, regular travel to the Moon by 2030 is iffy; the infrastructure in the Moon needed for tourism will take many years, if not some decades, to build from scratch. Ditto for Mars, with the additional boredom due to the long travel.
And the prices, oh my... If all goes well, a trip to Moon will be as expensive as a transatlantic cruise is now... by 2100 or so.

No. We first landed on the moon 38 years ago and travel to the moon is hardly common place now. We aren't planning to return there for at least 10 more years. The earliest plans for manned travel to Mars are for 2030 and that's optimistic.

Lockheed's new design contract for NASA extends to 2020 for only the moon. However there are some who will buy the shuttles in 2010 and there is one who will establish DASA at the Cabinet level no latter than 2009. However this one who will will not allow NASA as any direct link to the Cabinet level for all fairness politically to all political parties. Thus the hidden means to answer your outstanding question in the affirmative. Unless I'm mistaken in my politico-economic forecasts the President in 2012 will actually be the first person to land on Mars while his VP presides. Spellbinding thriller isn't it? I think so.

No. Earth's Moon became as quickly as area of the Earth's mantle. It on no account orbited Mars. Mars has adequate gravity to entice close 2 small asteroids and save them in orbit, yet one in all those asteroids is spiraling into in direction of Mars and could impact in 10,000 to twenty.000 Earth years. Your "hypothesis" is organic fable without foundation extremely.

Russians can send you into orbit now, for a mere $20M
Going to Moon and Mars will cost more than that, and after first few pioneers, there will be very little tourist value in going there.

Common place?, absolutely not. Technically it would be possible to do these things, but there is not sufficient political or commercial drive to achieve such a goal in the next 23 years.

No.. The shuttle was supposed to be common place with a few lauches a month and we're not even close to that.
