Constellation Program cost rises

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The cost of the Constellation Program has gone up, and is likely to keep rising, according to the Orlando Sentinel. The cost and delays may force some rethinking in Washington of America's lunar ambitions and could doom the project as the nation faces an economic crisis and record deficits.
