On Track To The Moon 

Frank Sietzen has an excellent article about the signs that the House of Representatives is warming to the Vision for Space Exploration, and may be willing to vote through the entire budget increase.
Also of interest was "confirmation" of something this blog has theorized:
"According to congressional sources, several House members complained Bush has failed to say anything more about the moon-Mars plan since his Jan. 14 speech, and his silence has been interpreted as a cooling of support. The group was told the White House was silent, not because Bush was rethinking his grand space plan, but was instead trying to avoid further politicization.
One source told UPI that Bush would 'keep his powder dry until the myths, legends, and political barbs on this strategy subside,' and the president probably would speak again about his space plan sometime late in his re-election campaign."
