I have been told that the astronomy community is quite concerned, but has been keeping quiet for the time being, hoping that they can regain their money without a public spat. Much of their concern is about a mission called Constellation-X. I don’t know much about it, but it is apparently listed as the highest priority in the community’s decadal survey.

One really interesting part of this article was that it outlined just how the scientific community turns its priorities into programs. That usually doesn’t get much attention in the press.
