obama's new space plan...Bad or Good for human exploration?

Probably a bit behind on this one, but this New Space Plan-apparently still under debate in the US...Anyone following this closely?

I'm kind of hoping it's just a front to push space exploration further whilst at the same time, appearing to please those against it. Wishful thinking no doubt.

I understand many people would rather send robots and all that, bla bla bla ...but I'd really love to hear from those of you that are FOR human space exploration on this one.

What a waste of money on the constellation program hey, but then it must of been doomed from the start for this to happen...or not? I thought the moon was not the best way to go, but anything was better than nothing and SOON...

Does this new plan mean that virgin airlines is going to the moon in the next 40years and Nasa to mars in the next century?

High Def and spectral pics are exciting but I'm really loosing interest fast in the whole affair if we exclude and put off the human aspect of exploration any more than we already have. I no longer know what to think when Nasa announces a plan, not that it's there fault or anything.
