Have the Voyagers Been Spared?

Voyager 1 Approaching Edge of the Solar System, NY Times

"Dr. Richard R. Fisher, deputy director of NASA's Earth-Sun division, said last week that he was looking to transfer some money from other areas to the extended missions and that an independent review later this year would prioritize which missions should be continued. A final decision will be made next year, he said."

Editor's note: Word has it that Mike Griffin has already decided not to axe Voyager 1 and 2 funding - yet there has been no public word on that decision.
