Reporting from Washington and Cape Canaveral, Fla. - NASA's plans to return astronauts to the moon are dead. So are the rockets being designed to take them there, if President Obama gets his way.
When the White House releases its budget proposal Monday, there will be no money for the Constellation program that was to return humans to the moon by 2020. The Ares I rocket that was to replace the space shuttle to ferry humans to space will be gone, along with money for the Ares V cargo rocket that was to launch the fuel and supplies needed to return to the moon. There will be no lunar landers, no moon bases.

The U.S will be left behind by other , more ambitious nations .
How will the U.S people feel when other nations are going to the Moon while the U.S is still working on a way to get into orbit ?
