With the comet landing in the news you might have missed the roll out of the new Orion capsule for its first flight test in December. Here is a link to a info video.
This is exciting, but I am always suspicious of political spin. The following video has some background info but seems overly focused on praising the shuttle program and even mentions the Orion as a backup for shuttling to the international space station.
A point of interest, this video mentions a lunar return mission with up to six months spent on the lunar surface and possibly the poles (containing water) as a target.
