Out Of The Blue And Into The Black

"Nothing succeeds like success"

(July 28, 1999) The coolest space toy has something going for it
Star Wars will never have - the Hot Wheels NASA Mars Rover is a
copy of the real thing.

Highly successful Mars missions like Pathfinder and Global
Surveyor were championed by NASA's Daniel Goldin to get more
bang for the buck. But, according to a recent press release,
NASA's cost efficiency has been rewarded by an 11% budget cut
for FY 2000:

"Year after year, NASA is touted for doing more and more with
smaller budgets and held up as a model of good government...
NASA has always stepped up to the budgetary challenge. This time
the NASA team plans to fight."

The Planetary Society has cited a number of science missions
that are likely to be terminated if the proposed cut is enacted
by Congress. According to Executive Director Dr. Louis Friedman:

"The space science cuts are the most devastating in NASA's
history and effectively curtail space exploration after 2001.
It's an irresponsible budget that does terrible harm to
America's future."

Following a week of news celebrating space agency achievements,
many news sources have yet to catch up with the story. If you
disagree with the House Appropriations Committee markup you can
Write Your Representative about it.
