摘要

The $16.5 billion NASA budget the U.S. Congress approved and sent to the White House Nov. 16 largely funds the U.S. space agency's new exploration priorities but leaves unaddressed NASA's main problem in the years ahead. The space shuttle program is under funded by $5 billion or more over the next five years, a revelation that has only come to light since NASA sent its 2006 budget request to Congress in February. So while Congress fully funded NASA's $4.5 billion request for the space shuttle program for the year ahead, it was silent about a budget problem that threatens to bog down the agency's space exploration agenda. The predicted gap between the amount of money NASA now believes it will need to properly fund the shuttle program until it is phased out in 2010 and what had been forecast previously, is the result of past budget planning that was predicated on the assumption that a dramatic decline in shuttle spending would be possible as the program winds to a close.
