-- NASA Considers Space Station Science Cuts to Save Money
Quote:
"NASA is considering shutting down all U.S. science aboard the ISS for a year or more for
budgetary reasons. According to multiple sources, during the Space Station Program Control
Board two weeks ago, Mike Suffredini issued an action to Code OZ (ISS Payloads Office) to
evaluate the impacts of not funding any U.S. science on the ISS in FY07. This action would
effectively eliminate science until Increment 19 in 2009. The underlying reason: to fix the
funding shortfall of $100 million that exists from losing funds to Katrina and other funding
pressures at NASA."
