The total funding needed by NASA to implement its exploration plan through 2020 may require $32 billion more than the agency currently projects, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Under its plan, NASA aims to return astronauts to the moon between 2015 and 2020. The plan also includes the return of the space shuttles--which have been grounded since Feb. 1, 2003--to flight in order to complete the International Space Station. The shuttle is next scheduled to fly in a May/June 2005 launch window.
