This new spacecraft project sounds a whole lot like an indirect statement 
that they are replacing the unstable/faulty shuttles that keep blowing up 
and killing humans.

Ok, I'm 35... and it looks like NASA will make sure we have a man on Mars 
no earlier than 2030, when I will be 61.  I'm not impressed.  I'm also not 
impressed over the 2020 date for the next moon mission.  I guess this is my 
old Star Trek inner-child wanting to see something happen while I'm still 
alive, but it looks like my future great grandkids might get to see a few 
rocks come back from the moon or Mars.  If I get to see a man step foot on 
Mars, I will have lived; then they can do whatever they want after that. :)
