Sean O'Keefe, the "for certain" new administrator at NASA said he wants the old style NASA linear thinking to be replaced with leap-ahead technology pursuits.

NASA has been focused on going to Mars the last few years. If we see the Chinese making strides in getting humans to the moon, I wonder if we'll decide to refocus on the moon once we finish construction on the ISS. It's possible that China's interest in the moon will way heavily on the minds of the President once the ISS is built. IMHO this is very good news. Going to Mars before we even establish an infrastructure in cis-Lunar space is putting the cart before the horse.
