Today marks the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year, and is should hardly come to anyone’s surprise that none of the FY2008 appropriations bills, including the Commerce/Justice/Science one (which funds NASA), have been signed into law, or even made it completely through Congress. The CJS appropriations bill has yet to be taken up by the full Senate. The federal government is operating under a continuing resolution, passed last week, that runs through mid-November. Of course, that bill funds agencies at the FY07 levels, which for many agencies, including NASA, is at the FY06 levels.
