Hmmm.. not quite http://www.space.com/news/nasa-budget-billion-boost-sn-100125.html
" WASHINGTON - NASA will not be getting the $1 billion budget boost civil space advocates had hoped to see when President Barack Obama sends his 2011 spending proposal to Congress Feb. 1, requiring the U.S. space agency to make even tougher than expected choices about the future of its manned space program, according to sources with close ties to the administration. " ... " An independent panel concluded this past summer that NASA could not afford to develop the Ares I and a crew carrying capsule dubbed Orion without a significant budget increase, which the sources said is not in the offing for 2011 Meanwhile, Obama will request budget increases for environmental satellites, education programs, and research and technology development, these sources said. " While yes, NASA is not getting the increase that it wanted, manned space flight is not being abandoned. Obama wants to push this into the private sector, which (IMO) is where it should be. It's time for all those NASA contractors to build their own projects out of NASA's budget and bureaucracy. I believe that the private sector could put man back on the moon and Mars in half the time that NASA could. -----Original Message----- From: Sam [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 12:20 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: If you want to view some funny fiction... 63m dems * .38 = 23,940,000 32 m Ind * .4 = 12,800,000 36,740,000 vs 47 m R * .6 = 28,200,000 You do realize Bush wanted to build a station on the moon as a stop on the way to mars. Obama just announced he wants to cancel all space travel and focus on the religion of global Warming. I bet that makes you proud? On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 12:03 PM, Larry C.
