forsythThe Hubble Space Telescope and a mission to explore Jupiter's moons look to be the biggest casualties in Nasa's 2006 budget plans outlined on Monday.
Hubble's not going to be replaced for like ten more years. If the money was actually going toward working on replacing the Shuttles with something better, not first-generation prototypes, which is what they still basically are, then maybe. But now? No. Bush's high talk about the Moon and Mars ain't gonna happen, because Bush doesn't actually care about them. It was just cheap political points scoring. If I thought it was going to actually happen, again, maybe. But I'm not gonna hold my breath.
