To be human is to explore. Iconic space programs such as Apollo and the space shuttle have taken people beyond Earth’s gravity and propelled humanity toward the stars, captivating generations, expanding scientific knowledge and triggering technological advances on Earth.
The capabilities we’ve pioneered have led to startling advancements in diverse areas such as communications, transportation, climate studies, national security, economics, medicine, learning and so many more. They have also brought the world closer together.
We are now developing advanced capabilities to usher in a new era of human space exploration. Humans will travel deeper into space, where greater discoveries await and where future generations will be inspired.
In relation to the emboldened text above: Well maybe one day they might actually show us the 'advanced capabilities' that they already have ha!

Half way down the above linked page is a picture showing work on the "The Orion multi-purpose crew vehicle" which is being developed for NASA by Lockheed Martin, it will carry astronauts farther, beyond low-Earth orbit, to various destinations, such as asteroids, the Moon and Mars. Looking at the fore mentioned picture I carn't help but see/imagine it as a small "Flying Saucer Craft". Again maybe one day they will show us ha!
