In response to the National Academy of Science's National Research Council's report about NASA not having the funds to do its job, Griffin (supposedly) sends out the following (emphasis added):<br /><br />"<i>We may NOT be able to fund that activity at present; <b><font color="yellow">I consider that almost a fact on the ground.</font>/b> But we can put in place the kind of peer-reviewed science that we WOULD do, given the money, and that we WILL do, when we can afford it.</b></i>"<br /><br />It seems that under the current budget plans, America isn't planning on doing much science on ISS.<br /><br />In general, I like the stories on NRC's report and Griffin's reply. I just wish NASA already had a full response (i.e., what to do when ISS is built or when we return to the Moon) ready to go by now.<br /><br />NRC Stories:<br />http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=19764<br />http://www.space.com/news/ap_060504_nasa_science_report.html<br /><br />Griffin's supposed email in response:<br />http://www.nasawatch.com/archives/2005/12/mike_griffins_p.html
