Save Our Science... While Saving the Vision

摘要

The Planetary Society is in the midst of its most hard-fought political campaign: Save Our Science, SOS, to restore the $3 billion of planned research, analysis and missions that have been cut from NASA space science plans over the next five years. SOS is, of course, the historic Morse code signal for help: dot-dot-dot, dash-dash-dash, dot-dot-dot. Maybe we should add one more dash at the end, changing the "S" to "V," to make it SOV — Save Our Vision. For it is notjust NASA's space science that is threatened, but also the entire Vision for Space Exploration.
