there has been marginal growth in NASA's budget for years I could imagine that Constellation project being pushed back, I personally hope it does not, I fear the more we treat NASA like a stepchild that eventually we will fall behind the world in research and inventions, in a fiercely competitive world with more developed countries such as Brazil joining the club we have to stay competitive and NASA has done much for our country in terms of new inventions. if there is a more advanced technology than the constellation project then I am all for it,but if it comes down to the so-called costs and is debated in congress (like they ever cared about how much something costs) I hope we don't get into either or choices, either fund this or that, I say fund both.
