I read somewhere that budget reductions were likely to impact the near term development of the Crew Exploration Vehicle, and therefore their plans to return to the moon. Has the same happened with Aurora? I am rather out of the loop with what's happening with that.
At one stage it was supposed to be Europe taking the initiative in sending humans back to the Moon and on to Mars. I suspect this has already been watered down to something much more ordinary.
Anyone have any information?
