NASA news

NASA still doesn’t have a director. I read a rumor somewhere that Obama was waiting for Bill Richardson to be cleared in whatever investigation he’s under, but that was unsourced and unverified. Meanwhile…
It’s always worth posting the NASA Watch entry instead of whatever article it links to:
“Apparently, the view of NASA’s acting Administrator is that the Moon is a box to be checked-off on the way to Mars. Hence, we don’t really need to establish an outpost because we’re just satisfying a political requirement in implementing policy, not conducting a technical experiment to use the Moon to prepare for journeys beyond.”
And today’s news:
- NASA Releases Fiscal Year 2010 Budget Request
- U.S. ANNOUNCES REVIEW OF HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT PLANS (pdf)
