ISS Science Cut Update

Marshall cuts real or politics? NASA says budget too tight; lawmakers say funds adequate, Huntsville Times

“In 2005, Congress passed a resolution requiring NASA to fund station science. “How can they fly in the face of that?” [Keith] Cowing asked. “If this item is a politically inspired activity for more (money), then it just shows how amateurish NASA is now when it comes to politics,” Cowing said. “It’s going to blow up in their faces.” Cowing said NASA leaders have “virtually erased microgravity research on the station and now it seems they are trying to cut out life-science research.”
