Obama trying to destroy Constellation.

After reviewing a September 2009 report following Congressional testimony,the Obama administration reportedly decided to exclude Constellation from the 2011 United States federal budget.On February 1, 2010, the President's proposed budget was released, which included no funding for the project. 

Constellation Program is a human spaceflight program within NASA, the space agency of the United States. 

Part of the Constellation program involves the development of spacecraft and booster vehicles to replace the Space Shuttle and send astronauts to the Moon and possibly to Mars as well. NASA has already begun the process of designing two boosters, the Ares I and Ares V. Ares I would have the sole function of launching mission crews into orbit, while Ares V would be used to launch other hardware for use on missions and will have a heavier lift capacity than the Ares I booster. In addition to these two boosters, NASA is designing a set of other spacecraft for use during Constellation. These will include the Orion crew capsule, the Earth Departure Stage and the Altair lunar lander.
