Streamlining NASA

NASA is considering merging the space operations and human spaceflight directorates. It certainly would be a sign of the times. NASA says the reorganization would be done with a view to better aligning programs and resources.

Still, the fact that NASA would no longer have a division solely dedicated to human spaceflight speaks volumes about the financial plight of the U. S. Government as well as about the immediate future of NASA's role in the human exploration of space.
