"CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - NASA is considering shutting
down all the research programs it conducts aboard the International Space
Station for at least a year to fill a projected budget shortfall of up to
$100
million, a top station manager said on Thursday."
"When implementing more than $300 million of station cuts last year, NASA
Administrator Mike Griffin told Congress it was more important to get the
station built than spend money for research."
My impression is that this was always the case.
"Cutting science programs would suggest that it is merely a joy ride to the
moon,"
said Katie Boyd, spokeswoman for Alabama Republican Sen. Richard Shelby.
"It would mean that we as a national have wasted billions of taxpayer
dollars."
No?! :-o

All the science they need is in the first chapter of the Bible.

Guess that's why they call it re-search ;-)

That's all the science they have.

Well, they hardly do any research anyway. Might as well take something
that is 99% useless and make it 100% so! <g >

The Bible is not a book,it is a library of books therefore it is
accurate only to speak of the first chapter of Genesis.
Genesis,as a work,took around 700 years to reach its final form,the
chronology found in the Massoretic text is a single unit that begins
with Genesis 1 and ends in Genesis 7.The format of the chronology has
been known for over 120 years through the work of Julius Oppert in his
1877 work 'Der Daten der Genesis'.

=3DOppert%2CJulius
I see you as careless with the sacred texts as you are with the noble
discipline of astronomy,in matters of faith,it shows that the Hebrew
authors were on top of their form when it came to matching other
civilisations in releasing their astronomical knowledge for those who
can handle these facets.
The very real nervousness of Copernicus in releasing his heliocentric
system was that the mediocre tend to lose control and the run of
themselves when approaching intuitive insights,300 years of empiricism
is a testament to that unfortunate condition .
No doubt the political asides and tone of this thread is aimed at
individuals who care less about what you think,they do however gauge
correctly that the climate (no pun intended) is definitely towards
concerns based on extreme meteorological events affecting human
activity and indeed existence itself.In the conceptual vacuum created
by centuries of theoretical excesses you would do better to grasp basic
astronomical principles such as the Earth's motions before you decide
to make a careless comment on the sacred texts of the Judaeo-Christian
authors.

Oddly enough, as one of Shelby's constituents, I've seen some hope in
his statements on this over the last year. His purely political
motives would be satisfied with spending the money in Huntsville,
whether stuff flies or not, so that being publicly concerned that
we get gebuine results for the expenditure does go beyond the
immediate senatorial concerns. And just when I thought nobody
in his office was reading our letters, email, op-ed pieces...
