Mars Scout Program To Seek More Money For 2011 Mission

Aerospace Daily & Defense Report 08/22/2005
NASA's Mars Scout program is seeking more money in its fiscal 2007 budget request to allow for the per-mission cost cap to be raised from its original level of $325 million to a level above $400 million. "I've recognized that that is an inadequate amount of money to get a reasonable-risk mission to Mars," Mars Exploration Program Director Doug McCuistion told The DAILY. "It's just not as cheap as flying low-Earth orbit stuff. And therefore I intend to increase the cap over what it was."

Overly emotional, accusatory, inflammatory or superlative using posts removed - quite a few of them.

Not one of us knows enough of the details to be conclusion jumping and flinging out accusations and condemnations like they're going out of fashion.

Further similar posts will be deleted, and the thread locked. Read the rules : want to rant, get a blog.
