Are we headed back to space?

Since the Space Shuttle disaster, the future of NASA was in doubt. Our future in space looked bleak.
Apparently, the recent launch of China's first astronaut has changed things...
According to THIS article, the administration is looking to return to space. More ambitiously, they're looking to return to the moon (maybe on a permanent basis)...and possibly a manned mission to Mars.
We need to return to space. Not just to beat the Chinese...but because mankind's future has always been in exploration and discovery. Stagnation isn't good for us, intellectually or evolutionarily. Mankind is a restless creature.

Now, someone needs to build me a lightsaber...
