Obama Grounding Plans To Return Man To MoonTranslation: the money will go to see just how fast we can arrange space vacations for Lloyd Blankfein and Jamie Dimon.
US President Barack Obama has announced that he is grounding plans to return astronauts to the moon. The decision was revealed as part of Mr Obama's budget plan for 2011. It follows the recommendations of an independent commission set up to assess the future of human space flight. It is expected that Nasa will be given $6 billion extra funding over the next five years but told to take a new direction. The focus will be on encouraging commercial spaceship development, extending the life of the International Space Station and working on a "flexible path" for human space exploration.
And now, a real President.
