True, his plan reasserted NASA's central role in manned space flight. It called for $1 billion in funding next year for the agency's ambitious, $30 billion space- station project and $100 million to start exploring Pathfinder technologies to establish a base on the moon and send missions to Mars. It called on NASA...
