Bush Space Plans Criticized
The Washington Post estimated the project will cost at least $170 billion over the next 16 years. A discussion with Dr. John H. Gibbons about the foolishness of the plan.
Among the private companies that will benefit from the space program may include Halliburton and Shell Oil. According to a 2001 article in Petroleum News, NASA has been working with Halliburton, Shell, Baker-Hughes and the Los Alamos National Laboratory in identifying drilling technologies on Mars. Democracy Now audio available here.
$120 billion just for the Moon, controversial to say the least. Mixed reaction in Florida and in Houston. Some JSC employees warn funding inadequate.
el - Bush will only additionally fund $1 billion for five years over current NASA budget. Is there something wrong with this picture?
