DESCRIPTION

NASA will be on the receiving end of funding cuts by the US Government, which has already had the effect of the agency cancelling its involvement in the 2016 and 2018 missions to Mars in favour of far-off exploration of space. Steve and Ben talk about the impact of this decision and how it may just represent the fall of American power following the global financial crisis.
