I caught part of an interview yesterday afternoon on Fox news with Shep Smith. Don't remember the other man's name, but someone very knowledgable of NASA, but he said something about the 'budge cuts that began about a decade ago with the end of the Cold War. That kind of spending was no longer needed'. I'm sorry, bu the first thing that popped into my head was 'Another thing we can blame on Bill Clinton'.

Just heard Kay Bailey Hutchison say that the NASA budget was cut 40% in the past decade. Whether or not that is the cause of the shuttle failure is another story.

The waste in the program was monumental, as with every other bureacracy. So let's not focus on the finances but focus on the engineering and see if we can't minimize future risk.
