克林顿政府在1999年的财政预算中建议NASA预留一些经费作为下一代可重复使用的发射装置的研究经费,并且开始建造一艘新的空间飞行器来研究木星的卫星奥秘.但是,宇航局却希望将紧张的预算用来继续推进未来可以预料的计划.虽然,近年来NASA已经为减少联邦财政预算赤字作出了巨大贡献,在过去5年中共将预算经费削减了20%以上,但是当克林顿总统公布30年来首次平衡的财政预算时,NASA却没能从中感受到多少欣慰.
The Clinton administration recommended in its fiscal 1999 budget that NASA set aside some funding for research funding for the next generation of reusable launchers and start building a new spacecraft to study the mysteries of Jupiter’s satellite. However, NASA hopes Tight budgets are used to move forward with predictable plans for the future. Although NASA has made a significant contribution in recent years to reducing the federal budget deficit by cutting its budget spending by more than 20% over the past five years, when President Clinton announced NASA failed to feel much relief from its first balanced budget in 30 years.
