The
Washington Post: After years of delays, NASA hopes to
launch this week a European-built laboratory that will greatly
expand the research capability of the international space
station. Although some call it a milestone, the launch has
focused new attention on the space agency's earlier decision to
back out of plans to send up a different, $1.5 billion device
-- one that many scientists contend would produce far more
significant knowledge.
