Default NASA Boosts Commercial, Kills Ares

"The Obama administration’s Fiscal 2011
NASA budget retargets agency funding on
developing a U.S. commercial space-
transportation industry, killing the “Moon,
Mars and Beyond” Constellation Program
in favor of a $6 billion “investment” in human-
rating existing launch vehicles and developing
a common crew vehicle to ride on them all."
