[QUOTE]Originally posted by newark: [QB] My point is, NASA needs more money, not less, for the manned space program. Each year, the agency is given less money and compromises are made in an effort to balance the budget. These compromises are now endangering lives. I support the goal of space exploration, but not at the cost of lives as a result of cutting corners. Columbia's crew died not because of stress fatigue, but because of decisions made by bureacrats and number punchers in the day-to-day functions of the agency. Unless NASA is given a larger budget and the budget is supervised by an outside committee, I fear we will lose one of the other three shuttles. As for the vehicle mentioned earlier, I have heard a launch date of 2010, if the project is completed on time. This gives us 8 years in which another shuttle may be lost. (Wolf 359-The Venture Star was the name of the project cancelled.) [/QB][/QUOTE]
