Fixing Up Shuttle Fleet Doubles to $2.2 Billion
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
NASA administrator Sean O’Keefe said Wednesday that the cost of fixing all the problems with the space shuttle fleet could top $2.2 billion -- double the estimated price tag given to Congress a year ago.
O’Keefe, testifying before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, was pressed on whether that estimate again could rise. “I don’t see any new unknowns coming down the road,” O’Keefe said.
