Like many people in the space industry, I have been doing a lot of reading about NASA's FY11 Presidential Budget Request and the ongoing debate surrounding it. I will eventually share my own opinions on the situation, but for now I'd like to just share some of what I've been reading and ask for your help finding more info "out there" - and, boy, there sure is a lot of stuff! I'd be so grateful for any other info you have been reading on the subject.
