Drudge may be just a tad premature on this one.
According to other news services (is Drudge a news service?), President Bush has asked NASA to publish plans for the future of the organization.
The moon base and possible manned (personed?) Mars exploration are expected to be part of that plan.
According to NPR, though, the President isn't expected to make any specific announcement of either in the near future.
Of course NPR could be wrong -- but so could Drudge.
By the way, AlphaSigOU, a local exhibit's company once built a full size model of the Saturn for Martin Marietta here in Denver. Don't know what happened to it. (Actually, my mind may be playing tricks on me -- it might have been a Titan model)
In any event, if these missions happen, it should give the boys and girls out on Titan Road (Martin's plant) a lot to look forward to and feel good about.
With tax cuts and deficits, though, it will be a struggle to find the funds.
ETA The New York Times is reporting that Bush may make this kind of announcement next week.
