NASA: Extra money needed to launch JWST this decade, SpaceflightNow
“Ed Weiler, NASA’s associate administrator for science, called the Obama administration’s flat budget for JWST a “road to nowhere.” “You’ll get to launch, but our grandchildren will have to use it,” Weiler said.”
Keith’s note: It is not uncommon in situations such as this where a senior federal agency official publicy breaks with (and openly insults) Administration policy to announce that they are departing the agency to “spend more time with their family. etc.” Stay tuned.
