NASA officially announced its plans to return human beings to the Moon and eventually to land astronauts on Mars. The announcement was widely covered on all the various news channels and sources.
Here are a few highlights:
Anticipated year of manned lunar landing: 2018.
Cost: $104 billion.
Vehicles: CEV and booster; heavy lift booster.
Administrator Michael Griffin noted that additional funds would not be necessary to achieve the objectives of the program and that NASA's budget would therefore not need to be increased much beyond its present level.
