President Obama on Wednesday announced his Fiscal Year 2014 budget including $17.7 billion for NASA. The budget request directed $78 million toward a mission to find, capture, retrieve and explore an asteroid, a project NASA Administrator Charles Bolden categorized as an “unprecedented technological feat.” The mission could deliver a crew to an asteroid parked near the moon by 2021, advancing NASA’s progress toward putting humans on Mars while also helping to protect the Earth.
