Strangely, it is only now that some of the most prominent space groups are trying to figure out just what it is, in fact, they want to advocate. After all, once you've gotten past the basic premise, "Americans should personally explore space," there are many stances to take. Keep going as we are (Project Constellation)? Do so with changes? Forget the Moon, and aim more directly for Mars? Maybe a human mission to a near Earth asteroid? Let the whole government program fail (Project Constellation, or even NASA itself), and encourage private industry to get us there?
