Interesting wording. I wonder what is 'inconsistent' in the budget profile? My first guess would be that it is a mystery where NASA intends to find 3 billion dollars over the next decade to fund the the mission. But then congress requests an alternative timeline that is 2 years earlier... which seems counterintuitive if the problem is not enough money being available.
Still, I must say I like hearing launch dates that are two years earlier rather than two years later. Anyone remember just a year or two back when the projected launch period was 2016-2017? Then 2018, then 2020. Yep.... I like hearing the date move earlier for a change. |
