USA Today (Oberg): "Think outside moon-Mars box: Maybe visit asteroid"

Asteroid? That'll never happen. A moon has much more clout than some rock
flying through space, even if it's more challenging. It's a psychological
kind of thing.

"The White House plan, detailed in internal documents, also
mentions the possibility of sending humans to asteroids or
moons of Jupiter."
