NASA IG Paints Bleak Picture For Agency Projects

coondoggie writes "The bottom line for NASA as well as any number of government agencies in this new era of sequestration is money — and NASA in this case has too many programs chasing too few dollars. That is just one of a number of bleak conclusions NASA's Inspector General Paul Martin laid out to a Congressional hearing adding that 'declining budgets and fiscal uncertainties present the most significant external challenges to NASA's ability to successfully move forward on its many projects and programs. For the first 6 months of this year, NASA has operated under a continuing resolution that funds the Agency at last year's level of $17.8 billion. Moreover, NASA's share of the Government-wide sequestration cuts reduce that spending authority by $894 million.'"

    You get one small point in time where your budget isn't automatically increased and it's an "era" of sequestration?

    Self-entitled sons of bitches. Get out there and EARN a living. RUN a business that isn't propped up by the backs of hard-working people.

    You'll just develop drones to spy on us anyway,

    Douche.

    The host is dying. Get used to it and produce something worthwhile, parasite.
