Report Copyright Violation | *** NASA to Announce Big Decision on Human Spaceflight Future *** [ link to www.space.com] NASA is set to make a big announcement today (May 24) about its plans for the human exploration of deep space. The agency will unveil those plans during a teleconference with reporters at 3:30 p.m. EDT (1930 GMT). During the teleconference, officials will "discuss an agency decision that will define the next transportation system to carry humans into deep space," according to a NASA media advisory. NASA's destinations in deep space over the next few decades are already laid out. Last year, President Barack Obama tasked the agency with getting astronauts to an asteroid by 2025 and to Mars by the mid-2030s. |

Fittingly, Congress passed the space authorization budget that started the development of the space shuttle as the follow-on vehicle to Apollo during the the second-to-last Apollo mission. I guess the follow-on to the shuttle will now be announced while the second-to-last shuttle mission flies its mission (provided Atlantis flies STS-135). |
