First it looks like Obama was wiping out a large chunk of the manned NASA programs and according to a report on Fox News paying Russia $52 million per astronaut to ride on Soyuz space capsules up to the International Space Station. Now by 2025, when former President Bush said we would have landed on Mars, now we are going after an asteriod to try to deflect one that might hit earth. That isn't going to be easy and Congress could effectivly delay a manned shot into deep space by not giving the project money. However, that does seem exciting to consider the possibilty of exploring and understanding more about space.
