Possibly a heavy lift booster at some future point.
But ISS will be manned till 2020 instead of 2015.


Have we got any official confirmation for this? For all we know, the
"LA Times" just interviewed a couple of janitors and called them
"anonymous".


The story was reported in several differnt places, so it sounds like a
administration leak to lessen the surprise when the program termination
comes.


Or it could be, as has happened before, they are just repeating what
the LA times said in order to escape being seen as having been
scooped. Today, when we can compare and contrast stories from
multiple sources, we have to carefully avoid the error of assuming
"that everyone is saying it, therefore it must be so".

You're right, let's see what Fox News has to say:
"President betrays humanity's future by cancelling all space research
that doesn't further his idiotic global warming hidden agenda - America
will be completly communist by around noon next Tuesday."

NASA COULD of had atlas and delta heavies carrying capsules by now.
But they got greedy wanted a new program and its probably their last
chance, they dont deserve another...

Only if the new capsules were ready by now.
