Shuttle Retirement Costs Divert Science Funding

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the robbing-einstein-to-pay-feynman dept.

FleaPlus writes "Although overall NASA funding is expected to increase next year, NASA has announced plans to divert money from its science program to help pay for the expected cost overruns for flying the Space Shuttle safely until its retirement in 2010. A number of science projects are being canceled or delayed indefinitely."

    Not all christians could care less about science.


    It's couldn't care less. If you could care less than you do, that means you at at least care a little bit. However, if you couldn't care less, then you really just don't care, as you can't have "negative caring".
