A New 'Constellation' At NASA

"NASA's headquarters in Washington, D.C., are now bustling with activity in the wake of President George W. Bush's plan, announced last Jan. 14, to revitalize the U.S. space program. Just as Project Apollo encompassed the attempt to reach the moon in the 1960s, the agency has named its new effort.
...
NASA is developing 15 White Papers -- a series of in-depth trade studies that would give detailed attention to each element of the Bush space plan -- moonships, Mars craft, new space boosters, advanced robots, new power technologies to run bases on the moon and expeditions out into deeper space venues."

Editor's Note: This article contains mention of the official logo for Project Constellation: "Three spheres --Earth, the moon and Mars -- are arrayed in sequence, with the streak of a rocket passing through each. A Latin inscription on the emblem says "Audentes Fortuna Juvat," which, translated into English, says "Fortune Favors the Bold."

Daniel: It seems like all of Nasa agency/ locations want in on all of the high profile peices of the newly named, The Vision for Space Exploration rather than the Space Exploration Initiative.
Official: KSC has key role in space plans
