A sadly all too common NASA project
Reported in the Orlando Sentinel, "After $273 million, NASA scraps project". Let's see, the CLCS was grossly over budget and years late. Like I said, sadly all too common.
Of course, it's a very common story across all of government, not just NASA. Most of the time, they just keep pouring more tax money on the projects rather than killing them. Government accountablility is an oxymoron.
