NASA to Delay New Moon Spacecraft Because of Budget Constraints

By KASIE HUNT

WASHINGTON Feb 28, 2007 (AP)- NASA will delay the first manned flight
of the new spacecraft designed to take humans back to the moon because
of budget constraints, the agency's boss said Wednesday.

The craft, called the Orion, won't fly until early 2015, four to six
months later than planned, NASA administrator Michael Griffin told
lawmakers.



Ok, anyone surprised raise your hands.
