Commercial Crew Relapse

摘要

Just when Congress finally seemed to be getting the message on the funding requirements of NASA's commercial crew program come a pair of disheartening marks for the activity next year in spending bills drafted in the House and Senate. Congress provided $805 million in 2015 for the commercial crew program, which will restore NASA's independent ability to transport crews to and from the International Space Station. That figure, while short of the $848 million requested by NASA, is still the largest amount appropriated to date.
