From foxreno.com:
"Internal NASA memos are reportedly calling for a much earlier return to the moon than had previously been mentioned by President Bush in speeches he made in 2004. The plan, called "Lunar Sooner," would have NASA scale back space shuttle launches and put the savings towards the development of a new space vehicle capable of a manned mission to the moon as soon as 2017."
This is in response to China's plan to beat us back to the moon. We were originally planning to get there in 2018.
In completely unrelated news, India is starting to plan their own manned space program
