Jeff Foust has some interesting comments from the administrator, and more criticism of the ostensible plans from parochial congresspeople. There is also some confirmation of yesterday’s scoop by the Orlando Sentinel. And interestingly, there was “no discussion of a heavy-lift vehicle.” I’m not sure whether this means that there isn’t one, or that it simply wasn’t discussed. Since NASA is embarking on a new architecture study, I wonder if a no-heavy-lifter option will be on the table?

The perversely amusing thing is that in today’s (28th) story about these proposals at space.com, Bill Nelson says that they would “decimate” the space program.
Yes, in order to be able to extend the human presence in space we have long needed to decimate the particular, unsustainably expensive “space program” formula designed for the Apollo race and keeping us limping along since then.
