Astrobiology Program Cutback Status

Please know that everyone, including the authors here, believes that it is important to reverse the decision to severely cut NASA’s R&A budget by 15%. It is also imperative that a focused effort be maintained to undo the inexplicable 50% cut to Astrobiology research.”
