Griffin you magnificent b@$^@&#, I read your presentation slides!
NASA is set to unveil its near term lunar exploration plan this Monday.
Those wanting a sneak preview should take a look at this PDF file. It is the slides from a presentation Mike Griffin made in 2001 as a guest lecturer at the University of Wisconsin about how NASA might return to the moon in the near future. Expect to hear the term "Lagrange point marshalling yard" as a potential market for private launchers to contribute to cislunar infrastructure development, but perhaps not as part of the initial lunar return flight.
If you still haven't had enough NASA handicapping this prepared statment of his from 2003 is worth a look as well.
