摘要

U.S. President-elect Barack Obama and the new Congress will face early questions about the nation's goals for space exploration, and at the forefront will be whether to break from the previous administration's plan to replace the 30-year-old space shuttle with a new system optimized for returning humans to the Moon. Congress passed legislation in October intended to be a roadmap for the new administration, with a three-pronged approach to closing an impending gap in U.S. human spaceflight capabilities between the space shuttle's scheduled 2010 retirement and the fielding of the Ares 1 rocket and Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV). In an effort to buy time for the new administration to assess options for mitigating the gap, Congress called for halting shuttle retirement activities until April 30, authorized $1 billion to hasten production of Ares 1 and directed NASA to pay for crewed demonstration launches aboard commercial spacecraft and rockets such as those currently being developed under the agency's $500 million Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program. "Congress teed up several issues and sent clear signals on funding levels through the [2008 NASA Authorization]," said Bill Ad-kins, a Washington-based aerospace consultant and former Republican staff director for the House Science space and aeronautics subcommittee. "It was an invitation for the new administration to really weigh in and sign up to the current goals and fund them accordingly. But if the money isn't mere, then priorities need to be set. NASA has muddled along too long doing too much with too little."
