has it been completely abandoned?What happened to the Constellation program?obama cancelled it
wants private companies to go to the moon instead of taxpayer funded explorationWhat happened to the Constellation program?The Constellation program was cancelled in February 2010 when the President Obama announced his budget cuts.
The Ares I-X parachute system (IMHO) were the only major parts of the program so far produced.
"On February 1, 2010, President Barack Obama announced a proposal to cancel the program, effective with the U.S. 2011 fiscal year budget, but later announced changes to the proposal in a major space policy speech at Kennedy Space Center on April 15, 2010. Obama signed the NASA Authorisation Act 2010 on October 11 which officially brought the program to an end."
