Orion Program Mission to Moon and Mars

Unfortunately, this mission is cancelled yesterday due to its cost and recession. Here is the story from ABC.

US President Barack Obama has abandoned plans to return US astronauts to the moon by ending the costly Constellation next-generation rocket program.

The administration is instead directing NASA to turn to long-range research and development which could eventually lead to a manned space program to Mars.

“We are cancelling the program, not delaying it,” Mr Obama’s budget chief Peter Orszag said. (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/02/01/2807263.htm?section=world)
