US president George W. Bush is to announce a new space program which could include missions to the moon and possibly even to Mars, reports say.
According to National Review magazine, Mr Bush is expected to make the announcement in a speech on December 17, the 100th anniversary of manned flight by the Wright Brothers.
The plans go beyond just a single mission to the moon and could even involve the establishment of a permanent base there, the magazine said.
Mr Bush may also outline general plans for a mission to Mars, it was reported.
Such an announcement would be a major development for the American space program.
