New
York Times: Fourteen Nobel laureates, including three whose
prize-winning work involved data gathered by NASA instruments,
have joined other prominent US scientists in signing a letter
supporting President Obama's plan for space exploration. The
letter
was sent yesterday to Representative Bart Gordon (D-TN), the
chair of the House Committee on Science and Technology. The
scientists wrote the letter in response to
moves
in Congress to restore funding to costly manned missions at
the presumed expense of unmanned science missions.
