NASA's top priorities are a replacement for the space shuttle and
completing the international space station, and some other programs are
being cut or deferred to concentrate the agency's resources, NASA
Administrator Michael D. Griffin said Thursday.

"NASA cannot afford to do everything on its plate today," he told the
House Science Committee. Funding priorities required the agency to
cancel several programs that "we either did not need or did not need
right now," Griffin said.

For example, it seemed like putting the cart before the horse to
continue life science studies about how people respond to being in
space before the agency was sure it could put people back in space, he
said.
