Obama has presented his thoughts on space research and he now has a plan for the next few decades.
This is a small part of his speech: "Early in the next decade, a set of crewed flights will test and prove the systems required for exploration beyond low Earth orbit," the president said. "And by 2025, we expect new spacecraft designed for long journeys to allow us to begin the first-ever crewed missions beyond the moon into deep space. We’ll start by sending astronauts to an asteroid for the first time in history. By the mid-2030s, I believe we can send humans to orbit Mars and return them safely to Earth. And a landing on Mars will follow. And I expect to be around to see it."
To see the whole speech go to NASA.com and click on multimedia. I should be easy to find.
What do you think about this? I think It is a very good plan but I am a little bit disappointed that we will no longer be going back to the moon.

We’ll see what it materializes into I have a hard time believing some of the things that our leaders say.

Yeah I agree. But since Obama will increase the budget by billions, hopefully this plan will work. biggrin

Maybe we should leave Iraq and Afghanistan and use that money instead of pissing it away to try and save face.
