"The NASA Advisory Council is endorsing the idea
of scaling back the international space station program,
saying the huge cost overruns "cannot be excused
and must not be ignored.
Despite the technical successes in orbit, "the
viability of the entire international human
spaceflight enterprise is being undermined by a
loss of confidence in NASA's ability to exercise
adequate management and cost discipline," the
council's chairman, Charles Kennel, wrote in a
letter to NASA dated Wednesday."
Не похоже это на опрометчивое решение. И ещё:
"The overruns are in the billions; NASA has yet to
determine exactly how many billions"
"The advisory council recommended that NASA
focus for the next two years on a reduced space
station, big enough for just three residents. That
is how many people are living up there now.
No commitments to expand the space station
should be made until NASA has regained public
confidence, the council added.
A lifeboat and living quarters necessary to
accommodate six or seven astronauts already
have been shelved by NASA, at the Bush
administration's insistence."
"The council also said
NASA has failed to
make its scientific
priorities clear and
should do so
immediately.
``Given this lack of
clarity,'' Kennel wrote,''
it is not surprising that
there is little public
understanding of why
the United States is
building'' the station."
Ну вот теперь мы знаем кто её "строит"
