Plans for International Space Station Cut Back
Sajma writes "Reuters is reporting:
NASA and its space partners on Friday approved a scaled-down International Space Station with fewer astronauts and less science so the United States can meet a 2010 deadline for ending shuttle flights, a top NASA official said. Space agencies in Russia, Europe, Canada and Japan gave unanimous approval to a NASA plan that means the orbiting platform, now about half completed, will never become the beehive of scientific and commercial research once envisaged."
The rest of the world is laughing so bad!!!
You mean the rest of the world that cries for American help at the drop of the hat?

I seem to recall that it was the other way round a bit over a year ago - Bush (and Blair, on his behalf) going round begging other countries for help.
Please, as if 50 troops from third world countries made a difference. Atleast we know who to trust now.
