Proposal scraps Mars mission plan
Former JSC chief's cuts would try to recoup station overrun
By Steven Siceloff
FLORIDA TODAY
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Planning for manned missions to Mars will be
put on hold, training may be curtailed, and the astronaut corps could
shrink later this year under a plan former Johnson Space Center Director
George Abbey detailed the day he was reassigned.
Abbey, who directed JSC since 1995, ordered all research on manned Mars
exploration halted, as well as some biological research while managers
comb the agency's budget for ways to trim some $4 billion over the next
few years.
