Phil Plait, the Bad Astronomer
wrote a very good piece, on the future of NASA in these troubled times. The shuttle is scheduled to fly her last mission in September 2010, a year from now. The replacement, with Ares rockets are not scheduled to come online until 2015 and that’s optimistic.
A presidential commission just released a study of the issues. In a word, the future looks bleak. But I’ll let Phil explain it in more detail.
