NASA May Shut Down all Space Station's Research

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stupid-budget-tricks dept.

jdoire writes "NASA is considering shutting down all the research programs it conducts aboard the international space station for at least a year to fill a projected budget shortfall of up to $100 million, a top station manager said on Thursday. Why the shortfall, you may ask? Because of $3 billion of Congress's pet projets"

    I want my own personnal Bridge to Nowhere, damn it. If the Alaskans have one then I want one too. In fact, I think every American citizen shouldget his own bridge. The world needs more bridges. Potential break-throughs in space travel or space exploration? Pfft, who needs that.

      Plus space travel poses a national security risk. If we keep at it, pretty soon we'll be getting terrorist illegal aliens jumping the border on space ships.
