Our idiot president, who happily gave billions to Wall Street Banks, AIG and car companies, and continues to spend billions in Iraq and Afghanistan, apparently doesn't have the foresight to fund NASA so that the Constellation program, mentioned in Al's article below, can proceed.  A quote from MSNBC sums it up.

The money in the president’s budget is not enough to follow through with NASA’s Constellation moon landing plan initiated by President George W. Bush in 2004. An aide to an elected official who was told of Obama’s plans said the president is effectively ending the return-to-the-moon effort, even though $9.1 billion has already been spent. The aide asked that his name not be used because of the sensitivity of the discussions.
