If you are not going to blast off to go directly to the Moon, where might you launch to?
Would that be up, up, to LEO for another day?
Would there be time to play?
Should I stay?
What can I say?
Just another day.

Lawmakers produce Bill to extend shuttle to 2015, utilize CxP, advance HLV
http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2010/03/lawmakers-bill-extend-shuttle-2015-hlv/
March 3rd, 2010 by Chris Bergin
Senator Kay Hutchison – in conjunction with Representatives Suzanne Kosmas and Bill Posey – has produced a 37 page Bill that proposes major refinements to NASA’s FY2011 proposal, and NASA’s forward plan. The Bill is centered around a shuttle extension to 2015, in support of fully utilizing the International Space Station (ISS), along with saving elements of Constellation – such as Orion and a Heavy Lift Launcher (HLV).
