| Summary | These stories take a hard look at NASA's plans to return humans to the moon and focus on the agency's decision to retire the space shuttle and build a revolutionary new rocket to replace it. The reporting documents actions by American's space agency that threaten to leave thousands of Floridians without jobs and America's space program bankrupt and grounded for years. It also exposes a NASA culture of decision making that is little changed from the one blamed for the deaths of the seven Columbia astronauts. |
