When it comes to designing, building, and testing spacecraft that will fly human beings off of this planet, who really have the expertise to make it happen? The Government Accountability Office, of course!
In its rush to build a spacecraft to replace the shuttle, NASA is headed for billions of dollars in cost overruns and launch delays that could jeopardize America's return to the moon, congressional investigators say.

If NASA won't slow down and get a better handle on whether it can afford the massive space exploration plan that President Bush ordered, Congress should consider reining in the program's budget, the Government Accountability Office recommends in a report released Wednesday.
Of course there needs to be accountability with NASA's budget, but the GAO recommending the money get throttled by congress? And that's going to improve safety? How, exactly?
