"CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) -- Three NASA advisers who spoke out
against budget cuts to the space agency's science programs turned
in their resignations this week, officials said Thursday.
Wesley Huntress, Charles Kennel and Eugene Levy each served on the
NASA Advisory Council's science committee. Kennel resigned by choice
but Huntress and Levy were asked to leave by NASA Administrator
Michael Griffin."

I guess the panel should get with the space colonization
program or get lost.

They no longer want the input of Wes Huntress, a leading scientist and
President of the Planetary Society?

Unbelievable!
