 "President Barack Obama will ask Congress next year to fund a new
 heavy-lift launcher to take humans to the Moon, asteroids, and the moons of
 Mars, ScienceInsider has learned. The president chose the new direction for
 the U.S. human space flight program Wednesday at a White House meeting with
 NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, according to officials familiar with the
 discussion. NASA would receive an additional $1 billion in 2011 both to get
 the new launcher on track and to bolster the agency's fleet of robotic
 Earth-monitoring spacecraft."
