On May 1, NASA will restart the process that will lead to the end of the space shuttle program in 2010. Last year, NASA was told by Congress to halt the process through April 30 to give the new president time to decide on space policy. President Obama has indicated he supports retiring the shuttle next year.
Two U. S. Representatives from Florida's Space Coast, one from each major party, insist they will continue to try to keep the shuttle program alive beyond 2010, citing the thousands of jobs and the experience and expertise that would be lost with the end of the program.
