NASA has been pretty vocally against since 2010 or so, here&#x27;s an example:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.spacepolitics.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;03&#x2F;28&#x2F;bolden-and-house-committee-clash-over-nasa-priorities&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.spacepolitics.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;03&#x2F;28&#x2F;bolden-and-house-com...</a><p>You have to understand that NASA is a big place and they have a public communications aspect with people who&#x27;s job it is to spread word about what they are doing no matter if it&#x27;s what they want to be doing or not, so rthat&#x27;s why you see so much in support.<p>The best way to tell if it is fluff or real is to look for vague ideas instead of hard timelines.
