Congress to Keep Funding NASA's Webb Telescope

Congress appears to have preserved funding for the James Webb Space
Telescope. Last night lawmakers from both the House of Representatives
and the Senate issued a final spending bill for NASA and several other
federal agencies that "accommodates cost growth" for the $8.7 billion
telescope. Details are expected later today. But that language is seen
as affirming the Senate's support for the embattled telescope after
the House has eliminated its funding.



Obama: "Telescope? What's a telescope?"

You are confusing him with Bush. It is the Republican religious right
wing that want to have astronomy and cosmology stamped out.

Though it is highly unlikely that Dubya could even spell "telescope"
much less say it out loud - far too many syllables.
