Default UPI Exclusive: Bush OKs new moon missions

No more Galileos or Cassinis or Pluto probes or Space Telescopes?



That will certainly get the scientific community in a frenzy. OTOH, the cost
of these missions is likely to be such that there isn't any other way to do
it, unless the U.S. wants to spend 5% of GDP on space exploration.


So those kinds of missions are cancelled, and the program only costs (say)
4.95% of GDP?
