The White House has released its documents for the FY14 budget proposal, including a fact sheet for NASA. The administration is seeking approximately $17.7 billion for NASA, about the same as its FY13 proposal. The proposal, as expected, includes funding to begin work “on a mission to rendezvous with—and then move—a small asteroid.” There’s also some consolidation of agency education programs as part of a broader administration STEM education initiative. More details will be posted early this afternoon when NASA releases its own, more detailed, budget documents.
Consolidate STEM with more teachers and students. Someone is empire building.
