Senators Blast NASA For Lacking Vision

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday February 25, 2010 @03:53AM from the we-need-more-tang dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A Senate science subcommittee clashed with NASA's chief on Wednesday, saying the agency and the White House lacked a clear vision and goal for the program. Skeptical senators told the space agency that it should not just talk about plans, but set out to do something specific. Lawmakers expressed a bipartisan opposition to the agency's plans and the initiatives of the Obama White House."

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that from a client I'd be able to make a sizable enough donation to NASA that they could get their Constellation program back on the books.
