probably refers only to manned programs

pwokenyaw — 1/9/2004 4:42:35 PM (archived)

When they refer to "existing programs that do not support the new effort" I assume they mean existing MANNED space programs, and will leave unmanned programs alone.

Another question though is whether the budget balance between manned and unmanned programs will be maintained. As I recall, a commitment was made some years ago that the manned space program will not exceed a certain percentage of NASA's budget. I don't know if that commitment would be maintained under this scenario.
