Al Jazeera English - Americas - Obama 'to scrap Nasa moon plans': "The US president is reportedly set to scrap plans to return astronauts to the moon, redirecting US space efforts in different directions with an enlarged role for the private sector in future missions.
According to White House officials, Barack Obama will outline the changes in revised Nasa budget proposal to be presented to Congress on Monday.
The plan will give the US space agency money to extend the life of the International Space Station (ISS) to 2020, and funds to encourage private companies to develop a space taxi to ferry astronauts to the station"
