Nasa Moonship flight target slips





Agency officials say they are now aiming for September 2014 for the first crewed mission of the Orion ship.

This is a year later than Nasa had hoped for, but still inside its March 2015 absolute deadline.

The officials say the funds currently available to develop Orion and its Ares launch rocket mean the faster timeline is no longer tenable.

What? The one good thing out of the thousand lies Bush helped promulgate, and it's underfunded?

Is that due to Congress, or the exec admin?

So, I don't really suppose this is likely to have success.
