*Well, Mr. Cowing (yep...him again!) raises an interesting point (nothing to do with the Mars Society this time, by the way). 

Also has link to NASA Image Gallery.

Re: Cautious Caveat?

Just means that their site takes a while to get updated...
Not so long ago (2-3 years) they had a section called something like 'manned Mars exploration' and when you clicked it, it was empty! That was so... UNGH! Countless of times i hit that section in the vain hope that it would give a glimpse of some plans, but nope...

I have long since given up hope to glean up to date info from their site. To be honest, i find it a real nightmare to search... There *is* a lot of info, there, but their 'friendly' fa?ade makes me seethe with frustration... If something noteworthy happens, it takes ages to get up there. JPL and other subdivisions do a much better job. NASA.gov is more like a dusty museum (except their ISS section, that is good.)

And let's face it: they do not have 'hard' plans yet, only a time-line...
