The Columbia Aftermath: Humans to Mars? Versatile Space Capsule?

MarsNews' Jim Burke believes the Bush Administration may have a big announcement in store, concerning Mars Exploration:

However, rumors are circulating in Washington of plans within the Bush Administration that could spell a major announcement of a Humans to Mars program during next January's State of the Union address. Already projected plans by NASA (informal at this time) would call for the development of capabilities at NASA to launch a mission sending 4-6 astronauts to the Red Planet no earlier than the 2012 opportunity. The rumors mention that an announcement would take advantage of the anticipated successes of NASA's upcoming Mars Exploration Rovers and Europe's Mars Express missions.
