Oh, it's only the first bit of the butchering of NASA's science programs. Kuiper-Pluto Express? G'bye. Followup Great Observatories? Gone. Deep space probes? Gone.
And of course, it's not like we'll actually get any of the Mars stuff. It's a perfect threefer for Bush: butcher NASA's science programs, especially those annoying ones that reveal global warming and show creationism for the nonsense it is, commit everything to a ludicriously underfunded pretend 'Mars mission' that will feed the money to his corporate masters, and then when it's clear that it can't be done without vastly more money, kill NASA.
