Their scorn has also extended to the second part of the budget, a program that normally they would have liked: bringing back to the US jobs that currently go to Russians. For the budget proposes contracting with American startups to send astronauts and cargo to low-Earth orbit – mostly to the International Space Station.
这些人的轻蔑之情同时也影响到了新预算的第二个部分，一个平时很讨他们喜欢的项目：把美国流失到俄罗斯的就业岗位夺回来。预算建议和美国新兴企业签订合同，把宇航员和货物送到低地球轨道——大概是国际空间站附近。在未来几年，NASA将从俄罗斯联邦航天局采购相关的服务，借助俄罗斯运载飞船把自己的宇航员送上太空。但再过几年，在新预算体制下，他们将从SpaceX或者Orbital Science这些新兴企业购买服务（最终我希望能它们能惠顾XCOR Aerospace火箭公司）。
