While most of NASA is reaching for the stars, the segment of the agency that conducts aeronautics research here on earth has taken a budget cut for the second consecutive year following President Bush’s initiative to expand the exploration of space.

The White House has proposed $852.3 million for aeronautics research in FY2006, down from the FY2005 request of $906.2 million. That’s the good news; the bad news is that money for aeronautics research generally will continue to dwindle during the next four fiscal years.
