(AP) — WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is essentially grounding
plans to return astronauts to the moon and instead is sending NASA in
new directions with roughly $6 billion more.

A White House official confirmed Thursday that when next week's budget
is proposed, NASA will get an additional $5.9 billion over five years,
as first reported in Florida newspapers. Some of that money will be
used to extend the life of the International Space Station to 2020.
The official said it also will be used to entice companies to build
private spacecraft to ferry astronauts to the space station after the
space shuttle retires.

An aide to an elected official who was told of the plans said Obama is
basically ending the return-to-the-moon effort pushed by President
George W. Bush. So far, that effort has cost $9.1 billion.


Double A Mafia has no more need of shuttle money. Got over a billion
for Sunrail that will never be built. Has the treasury in its pocket.
