NASA To Face $1.3 Billion Cut Next Year Under Sequestration

Posted by samzenpus on from the more-for-less dept.

littlesparkvt writes "A budget forecast that was released on Friday shows that the defense department isn't the only department getting hammered: NASA is as well, if the automatic budget cuts happen. According to Nature magazine, NASA will lose '$417 million from its science budget, $346 for space operations, $309 for exploration, $246 for cross agency support, among other cuts.'"

    That's not an answer. That's acting like a cop who beats a victim just because he holds the authority and nobody can stop him. Just because you hold moderator points does not mean you use them to punish the person or post. In fact /. rules specifically forbid such usage, and instead encourage you to REPLY to posts rather than mod them down.
