Abstract
The recent economic downturn has put pressure on our government to decrease unnecessary spending. nasa is a vulnerable organization with discretionary funding that could possibly be slashed to save funds. The newly elected administration will decide nasa's future fate. President-elect Barack Obama has promised funds to nasa but it is questionable if he will be able to keep all of his promises. He will have to cut things out of the budget. In our struggle to get stop this economic downturn, some sacrifices will need to be made and not every government funded organization will be satisfied with the funds they receive. nasa is in a dilemma with the proposed retirement of the space shuttle in 2010. It is being retired to save funds for the new Constellation spacecraft needed to get to the moon by 2020. One of the main goals of this moon mission is to build a long term base and use it to prepare for a future similar trip to Mars. The new spacecraft will not be completed until 2015, leaving a five year gap without a way to launch astronauts into orbit except with the help of Russia. A funding conflict has emerged.
