Nukes at GRC? Slim Chance

A NASA idea worth pushing for, Cleveland Plain Dealer

“If Prometheus survives its NASA review and is adapted to reflect the needs of manned bases and exploration, NASA Glenn’s leadership should make a strong play for stewardship of the program. It would be a good fit, it would bring jobs to Glenn, and it would elevate the center’s status within NASA.”

Glenn hoping for hot NASA project, Cleveland Plain Dealer

“The agency earlier this year asked for $320 million for the program in 2006. If the nuclear program survives, “it’s a possibility” that Glenn could assume leadership, a spokesman for NASA headquarters confirmed.”

Editor’s note: A slim possibility would be a more accurate description of GRC’s chances.
