NASA Task Force Recommends Radical Changes

Posted by michael on from the belt-tightening dept.

The full report in PDF format is available from NASA here." We've reported on this before but we didn't have a link to the report itself. Budgetary woes have already taken their toll on the station and this report is recommending even more cuts.

      The sad part is that would probably be denied, whereas something like the NSA's budget would be approved right away:

      New cars: $2,000,000
      50,000 rolls of duct tape: $11,000,000
      17 toilet seats: $160,000
      Bottle of Elmer's Glue: $14,000
      Rubber doorstops: $6,350,000

      Ah well, we have our priorities I guess.
