Stimulus bill leaves NASA with less than requested, Houston Chronicle
"The House on Wednesday rejected pleas from pro-NASA lawmakers to include up to $2 billion for space exploration and accelerated construction of the next generation of manned spacecraft. The measure, approved by a vote of 244 to 188, allotted just $50 million to NASA to repair Houston-area facilities damaged by Hurricane Ike, along with a half-billion dollars for non-space activities."

Funding for research, development, and demonstration to improve aviation safety and Next Generation Air Traffic Control (NextGen) that will make air travel safer, more efficient, and less of an environmental impact.
Funding for the National Science Foundation (NSF) for research grants that will put scientists to work and keep promising younger researchers in the pipeline, and for investments in cutting-edge research infrastructure and instrumentation at U.S. universities.
nothing on the new rocket or spaceflight operations yet.
they will have their chance at future hearings given the fy09 budget. should be fun seeing mr cooke and hanley with gerst
