After 50 years, NASA is at a crossroads

Who?- NASA

What? -For 50 years, the sky has been the limit for America's space agency. But the view of the future now looks cloudy.

When? - Wed, Oct. 01, 2008

Where? -Florida

Why? -For the next 50 years is just as clear -- revisit the moon, send astronauts to explore Mars and beyond -- but the bottomless supply of money that fueled the agency's early success is no more.

How? -The government has announced plans to retire the shuttle fleet in 2010 and return to orbit with new spacecraft by 2015, with a moon landing by 2020.
