NASA Budget Gets Little Help from the White House

Apparently Obama's administration is not interested in helping NASA craft the 2010 budget. According to reports the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is proposing a $3.5 billion cut in the shuttle replacement.

Some good news is this may force NASA to move toward a evolved expendable launch vehicle (EELV), such as the Atlas V or Delta IV, rather than spend years building new rockets in order to provide aging space shuttle workers with jobs.
