USA Today : The technology storehouse supporting NASA’s effort to launch astronauts back to the moon by 2020 is dependent on proper funding and clear mission goals, but lacks a comprehensive testing plan, according to a new report.
Released Thursday by the National Research Council, the 158-page report stemmed from a 10-month review of NASA’s Exploration Technology Development Program (ETDP) which is charged with developing and providing the new technologies required for the agency’s return to the moon and beyond.
