POLITICS PUTS $100 MILLION SATELLITE ON ICE
Topic: Science 6:31 pm EST, Nov 15, 2006

NASA has spent almost $100 million in taxpayer money to build a satellite that is headed for a storage bin in Maryland.

Triana was scheduled for a November flight into space, where it would measure ozone in the Earth's atmosphere while also beaming round-the-clock photos of Earth to the Internet.

But now, some fear it may never fly.

LAUNCH IT!

If for no other reason then tax payers should see some ROI out of the project. This sounds like partisan politics leading to a pair of blinders willfully being put on the public.
