House OKs Capping Space Station Costs
From Times Wire Reports
The House approved $28.7 billion in spending for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration over the next two years. The legislation, passed on a 399-17 vote, also sets a cap on development costs for the international space station. The measure moves to renegotiate the space station agreement so that benefits to the 16 participating nations are more in line with actual contributions and so the U.S. shares less of the future operating costs. The bill now goes back to the Senate for a final vote.
