I missed the talk, but at the conference yesterday morning, NASA’s chief of staff, apparently said not to worry about it:
“If you talk to the leadership in the administration or Congress, most people believe it’s not going to happen,” said NASA chief of staff David Radzanowski in response to a question on the subject after his keynote address at the NewSpace 2012 Conference in Santa Clara, California, Thursday morning. “They’re confident because the alternative is not good policy.”
Phew. Well that’s a relief. Because as we all know, nothing ever happens in Washington that results in bad policy.
most people believe it’s not going to happen
Using the same reasoning skills, most NASA folks didn’t believe Constellation would get cancelled either.
We’ll know the impact to NASA in approximately 30 days, unless President Obama decides to continue his trend of hiding things from the public.
So, NASA isn’t excluded from the sequestration, and sequestration is going to happen.. two facts, combining them is that hard?
