Official: Despite budget cuts, NASA to continue spending on IT

A top NASA official told a House panel on Thursday that information technology was a high priority, signaling that IT opportunities most likely will survive deep budget cuts at the space agency.

Human exploration beyond Earth, including planned missions to the Moon, is not affordable under NASA's fiscal 2010 budget, according to an independent review of the human space flight program released on Thursday. The review was led by Norman Augustine, former chief executive officer of Lockheed Martin Corp., who served on the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology during Democratic and Republican administrations.
