I’m saying its possible that someone with a vested intrest in keeping the shuttle flying put it in. I hope its not the case, but one should always hope for the best and prepare for the worse.

As the other friday story said, it is most likely due to an unkowledgable staffer error. At least I hope so.

Are you saying that you want the shuttle to fly past '11 or are you saying that someone with a vested interest in that put the changes in?

Do we know who is the one that added the damaging language? I do see this as something that can protect NASA and keep the shuttle running beyond 2010/2011 (2011 is now the late estimate of the CEV flying)

Even if DeLay could fix it, why would he? He’s the congressman from JSC, not the congressman from alt-space.

DeLay seems a little preoccupied right now. (See your newspaper.)

Are we sure we want to delay this further? If it goes back to conference and house and Tim Delay can fix it.

it’s a lot easier to fix it than to kill it and make a new bill.
