Has anyone heard the news that NASA's moon program will be canceled.?

I find it bizarre to hear Mr Obama making loud claims about the U.S. not being in second place, and then to hear from a different source (apparently, he didn't want to talk about it) that we are abandoning the manned space flight program. The jobs that he wants to create are apparently not engineering jobs or science jobs, or even creative jobs; they are road maintenance and civil service and union jobs for folks that will support his political agenda without having to actually create or produce anything. Sounds like a race to the bottom.
