Mars Rovers Facing Budget Cuts [Updated]
BUL2294 notes a CNN article reporting that the Mars Rovers program at NASA is facing budget cuts of $4 million for this year and $8 million for fiscal 2009. This will mean job cuts; and in all likelihood Spirit will be put in "hibernation mode," to be reactivated when or if future funding becomes available."
Update: 03/29 20:02 GMT by KD : NASA has rescinded the memo to the JPL threatening budget cuts, and is now saying that no rovers will be shut down.

That statement was not made by a republican.
Democrats that think like that no longer exist. The leading brain trusts behind the Democratic Party think of the USA as evil so even the idea of an American culture and the space race as a statement of that culture would come off to them today as nationalistic and evil.
