Lockheed Martin Wins NASA Moon Contract

NASA on Thursday gave the contract to build a manned lunar spaceship to Lockheed Martin Corp.

NASA will use the Orion crew exploration vehicle to replace the space shuttle fleet, take astronauts to the moon and perhaps to Mars. Unlike Apollo and earlier spacecraft, it will be reusable. NASA has asked for eight separate spaceships.
