Playing Loose with the "Facts" at Florida Today.

Giving the OK, Florida Today

“In case you missed it, NASA’s former chief Sean O’Keefe killed the mission in 2004, citing post-Columbia safety concerns. More likely, that was just a cover story to start redirecting money for the agency’s moon-Mars plans.”

Editor’s note: Dear Florida Today: Do you actually have proof that O’Keefe’s Hubble decision “was just a cover story to start redirecting money for the agency’s moon-Mars plans”? If so, please print it. Source documents would be nice. Otherwise, do your readers a favor – be honest and tell them that you just made this up – sans any actual proof.
