BID: $ANS-018.07
President Bush announced on Wednesday, January 14, 2004 his
administration's initiative to put a man on the moon by 2020. His plan
calls for the completion of the International Space Station, then
retiring space shuttle fleet.
By 2014, Bush wants NASA to be flying astronauts aboard a new Crew
Exploration Vehicle and landing robotic explorers on the lunar surface.
Manned moon landings would start as early as 2015 and no later than
2020, followed by human expeditions to Mars a decade or so later.
Bush pledged to get the program started using only $1 billion in new
spending on NASA over the next five years, saying that the rest of the
funding will come from redirecting another $11 billion of current NASA
spending from other unidentified projects.
