Together with European Space Agency, Russia is already organizing a simulated manned mission to Mars by placing six volunteers in a sealed capsule on Earth.
For the moment, NASA is planning to launch an unmanned mission to the Moon in the fall of 2008. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is a robotic mission designed to create a new type of comprehensive, digital map of the Moon's features and resources, necessary to cost-effectively, but mostly will focus on selecting safe landing sites for future human missions.
