Future Hope for Nasa

We’ve heard rumors @ Chill Report about NASA’s, but tomorrow is another day, where we should hear some hard facts. It was a pretty grim future, with The Space Shuttle grounded, the Constellation moonshot program canceled, big delays in private space ventures, and huge job losses in NASA and its supporting industries.

Well there’s word that tomorrow, Obama will unveil a new vision that includes $6 billion of extra cash for the space agency, on top of its original budget plans, phased over five years. This key money is for: 1) creating 2,500 additional jobs in and around NASA’s Florida installations. 2) works on a new large rocket that’ll be key in taking humans to Mars. 3) continuing work to develop the Orion manned space capsule to act as an emergency escape vehicle for the international space station.
