CNN-- American astronauts will not return to the moon as planned if Congress passes President Obama's proposed budget.
美國有線新聞網(wǎng)：如果國會通過奧巴馬總統(tǒng)的預算提案的話，美國將不會按照原計劃再次進行載人登月（1969年美國航天員曾成功登月）。
Obama's budget -- which aims to tighten the nation's purse strings in certain areas while increasing money used to create jobs -- would cancel NASA's Constellation Program, which had sought to send astronauts back to the moon by 2020.
奧巴馬的此項預算旨在縮減某些領域的開支，加大對增加就業(yè)崗位工作的投入。而如此便會使美國宇航局的星座計劃（2020年之前重返月球）面臨擱淺。
Constellation also intended to study the idea of establishing a moon colony. The program was set to follow the U.S. space agency's shuttle missions, which are due to end in September.
星座計劃還包括另一項任務-研究在月球上建立殖民地的可行性。該計劃原本安排在美國航天局的航天飛機任務完成之后展開。
On its Web site, the White House Budget Office says the program to send astronauts to the moon is behind schedule, over budget and overall less important than other space investments.
美國白宮預算辦公室在網(wǎng)站上說，此次登月計劃進度落后于原定計劃，耗資超出預算開支，并且從全局的角度來看，沒有其他的空間計劃重要。
"Using a broad range of criteria, an independent review panel determined that even if fully funded, NASA's program to repeat many of the achievements of the Apollo era, 50 years later, was the least attractive approach to space exploration as compared to potential alternatives," the site says.
一個獨立核查小組通過分析各個指標，得出了這樣的論斷：就算資金充足，美宇航局的這次計劃也只不過是在重復50多年前的阿波羅計劃所取得的成果。和其他的潛在選擇來比較，這項宇宙探索計劃是最沒有吸引力的。
"Furthermore, NASA's attempts to pursue its moon goals, while inadequate to that task, had drawn funding away from other NASA programs, including robotic space exploration, science, and Earth observations."
“而且，美宇航局為了這個目前尚處準備階段的計劃，已經(jīng)從其他的太空計劃（諸如機器人太空探索，宇宙空間科學，地球太空觀測等）撥走了大量資金。
Overall, Obama's proposed budget increases the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's budget by $6 billion over the next five years. The president's budget would give NASA a $19 billion budget in 2011, compared to its $18.3 billion budget this year.
從整體上來講，奧巴馬的預算提案在未來的5年里，將會給國家航空和航天局增加60億美元的財政預算。今年，美國政府給美宇航局的財政預算為183億美元，而到2011年，這個預算將會達到190億美元。
