In this episode, we talk about the recent meeting between the two US Chambers of Congress to discuss NASA and its fiscal year 2011 budget which includes the cancellation of the new Constellation program. We discuss how with the congress and its current view of the proposed cuts, NASA's budget may not pass. We then go on to discuss SpaceUp Sand Diego, the unconference, and announce the passing of artist Robert McCall.
