NASA officials this morning said the agency is not retreating from human space flight. The agency was responding to critics who contended that President Barack Obama's proposed 2011 budget, released yesterday, would end all such programs and thus result in a serious decline in the US space program.
The space agency had announced yesterday that Obama's plan would scrap NASA's latest plan to return humans to the moon by 2020. The budget instead aims to turn NASA's immediate attention to developing new engines, in-space fuel depots and robots that can venture out into space, paving the way for future missions that would return humans to the lunar surface.Bolden said he supports the new Obama administration budget plan, which calls for NASA to hire private companies to build space taxis that would shuttle astronauts to the International Space Station. The old Constellation plan, which already has cost $9 billion, was behind schedule, and was projected to ultimately be over budget.Bolden also publicly thanked the people who worked for several years on the Constellation project.

With only five shuttle launches left, state and space leaders are hoping a deal would allow these scientists to work for the Department of Defense and make parts for the military."If we're not successful in this endeavour, then basically there's a chance 300 people will not have jobs after the shuttle program," Jim Kell, spokesman for the United Space Alliance told My Fox Orlando. "That's why we have to be successful and move these plans forward."The president is not expected to extend the shuttle program and Space Florida's president Frank DiBello says that will be a problem for thousands of people."I think the White House knows we have a problem here in Florida."The president is not expected to make a final decision about NASA's future until the spring.

As Ares I-X roared into the sky a few minutes ago, Lugo was watching the hard work of several hundred of his employees go with it. Glenn engineers designed and built the mockup upper stage, fully one-third of the towering rocket. That upper stage successfully separated from its solid rocket booster about 2 minutes into the flight, then plummeted to the ocean below.Kennedy Space Center, Fla. -- Ramon "Ray" Lugo, the deputy director of Cleveland's NASA Glenn Research Center, has seen a lot of rocket launches during his 36-year career with the space agency, but he still gets excited seeing the "smoke and fire.""How can I feel anything but really good?" Lugo said. "It makes us proud of the accomplishment. It was great. The folks in Cleveland ought to be very proud of the employees of the Glenn Research Center and the contributions they made. There's a lot that Cleveland should be proud of today.

As the first of six episodes, Science for a Hungry World: Part 1 sets the groundwork for explaining why NASA data is critical to ensure a stable global food system.which allows scientists and governments to see the health of crops on a global scale. This video reinforces the idea that a unique perspective from space is essential for continuous global agricultural monitoring and accurate forecasting.
