Scientific paper
NASA has been facing strong resistance to its central program, which is the Space Station Freedom (SSF); the recently downscaled version of SSF, which will cost $16.5 billion beyond the $9 billion thus far spent, has significantly less power and data-processing capacity than the earlier design. It is presently suggested that NASA should heighten the commercial relevance, as in the 'Mission to Planet Earth' (MPE), which is concerned with the monitoring environmental degradation by industrial and other air-, water-, and land-use patterns. If funding for SSF were ever lost, MPE would become NASA's largest and most expensive program.
