Augustine on the Hill This Week
Augustine Taking Findings to Capitol Hill, Aviation Week
“Senators and representatives will get a chance to respond to the recommendations of the Review of U.S. Human Space Flight Plans Committee this week, with back-to-back hearings on the panel’s findings. Chief among them is the conclusion that NASA won’t be able to get human beings out of low Earth orbit without about $3 billion a year more than it’s getting for exploration, and even then it probably won’t be able to meet the ambitious back-to-the-Moon goals of its current program.”
