‘The U.S. human spaceflight program appears to be on an unsustainable trajectory,’ according to a report by a panel of experts convened by President Barack Obama. The committee was brought together to assess the financial feasibility of plans for manned missions to the Moon and Mars, the fate of the International Space Station and hundreds of other NASA projects. The news was bleak. One projection showed that with the current budget astronauts will not even be able to leave low Earth orbit until 2028. Now Obama is left with the unenviable task of either finding billions of dollars more in funding, or making devastating cuts to the future of space travel.Image: centophobia - Flickr

Didn't Bush pledge to return to the moon by 2020? I reckon the Chinese are going to get there first.
