Yeah, I suppose that just screams "government work," but anyway...
NASA may get an increase in funding of almost $1.2 billion/yr over the next five years, but be faced with significantly reduced expectations.
I can't help but wonder if there will be hushed sighs of relief in the various hallways of the Administration.
I applauded Bush for making the "Moon, Mars and Beyond" speech. Sadly though, while the spirit was willing, the flesh just wasn't interested.
Personally, I've considered the demise of the VSE more-or-less inevitable since about 2006. The interesting question in the pending plan, though, will be what initiatives and efficiencies the private sector will be allowed to bring to the table. If Burt Rutan will take government money, give him a billion and then don't bug him for a few years.
