The New York Times carried an extensive article with diagrams describing many of the proposed reductions contemplated by NASA in the cost and role of its orbiting Space Station. The mission was to study the long-term effects of space on astronauts and other living things and to see whether the nearly weight-less environment offers commercial possibilities. NASA was scheduled to deliver the modified proposal to Congress March 5. (NY Times, Mar 5/91; W Times, Mar 5/91) In a commentary originally for the Christian Science Monitor, Richard Minister cited the British television program, "The Greenhouse Conspiracy." The program highlighted the scientific uncertainties of global warming, relying on testimony from NASA experts, among others. (I3 Sun, Mar 5/91) NASA selected the 49-foot [[Pegasus]] rocket made by [[Orbital Sciences Corporation]] of Fairfax, Virginia, for seven launches worth about $56 million, with an option for three more. This contract was additional to one for about $43.5 million for ocean observation. (W Post, Mar 5/91) Ceremonies connected with NASA Administrator [[Richard Truly]]'s presentation to [[Rockwell International]] [[Air Force Systems Command Space Systems Division|Space Systems Division]], Palmdale, of the 1990 [[George M. Low]] Trophy to a contractor for outstanding achievement in quality and productivity improvement were featured at some length. About half the Palmdale work force were scheduled to be laid off after [[Endeavour]]'s completion; the remaining 450 workers beginning in July would modernize the Shuttle [[Columbia]].
