Seeing I just mentioned (a couple articles ago) that the current line of Space Shuttles will soon be out of commission permanently; I found this next article VERY interesting. There isn't much in the way of pictures; but you will understand what NASA plans to send up instead of the Space Shuttle during this strange period of Space exploration. (By that I mean, the American Space Program is in flux; and their new goal is returning to the moon. So whatever they use sans the shuttle, might likely be a stop gap)

Going back to the moon? What happened to the trip to Mars?
We have to go to the moon to build a base from which we'll launch in lower gravity to get to Mars.
That sound like a major undertaking that would require other countries to be involved in. And a lot of money!!!
Not to say that I wouldn't want to see it happen.
Yes, I agree. Honestly I'd rather spend money on a joint space exploration with other countries than spend the kind of money going towards the Iraq war. I support the troops 100%, I just think that there are lots of other places (Darfur for instance) that want and need our help. I also think we could use troops back home when their are natural disaters.
Anyway, I'm off my soapbox.
Preach Fred, Preach.
Amen
