Nasa has discontinued experiments aboard the space station partly
because funds are being reallocated over to the new Lunar initiative.
What ever the excuse or reason, & there are several others, the bottom
line is that Nasa cannot obtain the funds for experiments.

With this in mind I think we should be able to scrounge up a few
million dollars to resume these very important experiments.This is one
of the major reasons if not the most important reason for having a
space station. So please contact Nasa, the President, & congressmen
that oversee committees on space & science to resume experiments. It
will only take about 5 minutas away from your sports program or soap
opera to do this.

I'll write my congressman and insist that most ISS science funds be
diverted to ISS assembly until after 2010. Kudos to Griffin for finally
realizing that it's folly to try to do a lot of science in a half-assembled
station. It's like furnishing your house before the roof is finished.
