Months after President Trump signed a directive ordering NASA to return astronauts to the moon, the space agency has canceled its only lunar rover currently in development.
According to Clive Neal, a University of Notre Dame planetary scientist and emeritus chairman of the Lunar Exploration Analysis Group, members of the Resource Prospector mission were told to close out the project by the end of May.
I'm a little shocked, he said. Neal, who is not directly involved in developing the mission, said he did not know the reason for the cancellation.
NASA said Friday that it would be putting out a statement about the project.

(15,075 posts)they might gather more data about the composition and history of the moon, and also thereby the Earth, and further show that the Bible is just stories created and told by people, written by people, edited by people, and not anything to be taken literally or even seriously.

(2,541 posts)The new NASA administrator who was just confirmed a few days ago is nowhere near qualified for the job. My guess is like trumps other choices his job is to do the same at NASA as Tillerson did at State, Pruitt is doing at EPA, Carson at HUD etc, etc.
It is going to take decades (if it is even possible) to fix the damage trump has/is doing.
