Given financial & political realities this is the best we could have hoped for. See it for what it is - a starting point that gives an industrial and experience base for grander journeys in the future. As someone who just remembers Armstrong taking his first step I would love to have seen a more definitive Mars direction but I am just glad that a window beyond LEO has finally opened let us hope the politicians do not close it. AS for the stick and using shuttle hardware, well why not? At least it is a known and I have little faith in brand new systems and even smaller faith in the nascent commercial space industry being able to deliver on their promises. Hey I am excited that there is *a* plan for going back to the Moon... and we've just heard it from the horse's mouth!!! That there is still a *will* and some thoughts around the *means* for humans going back to the Moon within my lifetime is, in itself, the most marvellous and most satifying thing I've heard in the past few years...
