Scramjet test

It's a shame that the X-43A's budget has been cutback. Somehow,
someway Congress needs to find funds to help NASA push its scramjet project forward. From a public benefits standpoint, it seem to me that we'll reap faster returns from NASA's scramjet program than we will from its manned Mars program.

ISTR it's suppose to be quite a bit bigger than either the A or the C. Was it also cancelled? |

I don't think that NASA has actually cancelled the X-43 or ISTR programs, but it's apparently doing some pretty heavy budget cutting on the X-43 program. I'm just guessing, but it seems they maybe shifting the X-43's program funds into the manned Mars program. If that's what NASA's doing, I think it's making a big mistake. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather take a 2 hour scramjet ride to Paris than a 3 month ride to Mars. |
