In short, even though NASA is to get 1.3% increase, better than other areas
(except military, of course), it won't be enough to get the CEV out in time
and this may lead to at least 5 yer gap between last shuttle flight and
first CEV flight.
I bet each year will see similar messages until CEV is scaled back to LEO
service, and delayed so much that there won't be any missions for it since
ISS will have been de-orbited by then. |

I don't understand the logic of budgets these days. It sometimes seems as if
there are separate budgets for the nut and for the bolt it fits on.

Yep. Instead of merely doing the wrong thing, NASA will do the wrong
thing on the cheap. Just like in 1972. The results will be the same:
wasted money, wasted time, wrecked ships and dead crews, but lots of
happy voters in certain Southern congressional districts.
Resources should be spent on the value-added part of the program, namely
the CEV. NASA should either (1) abandon the Ares I and concentrate on
Ares 5 for all launches, or better, (2) abandon Ares altogether and use
both the Delta Heavy and Atlas Heavy. |

Both of which are built in certain Southern congressional districts...
