- Again, the Lunar Resources Data Purchase Act will provide a solid funding base
- for a resumption of lunar science flights. Congress didn't fund NASA's lunar
- orbiters, because of the fear that a new start for SEI hardware would be an
- implicit new start for a manned return to the Moon (remember, that was George
- Bush's proposal). This new approach alleviates that concern, but does get us
- lunar science data soon.
