Here's an addendum to yesterday's story concerning the Obama administraion's trial balloon about fusing the Pentagon's space goals with NASA's.
NewScientist.com, in a flurry of end-of-year articles, offers this one concentrating on Asia's significant strides in space exploration. The piece states that "NASA struggled to maintain space capabilities it had acquired decades ago." Granted, we've stayed in low Earth orbit for the past few decades, but building up the Vision for Space Exploration program while winding down the Shuttle is no small feat. The important part is that plans are in place for not just a replacement, but an enormous leap forward.
Sticking to those plans? That, of course, is the hard part.
