NASA chief Daniel Goldin told a Senate subcommittee that post 25 000 to 18 500 staffing cuts over seven years left engineers inexperienced and communication poor. He cited 1999 failures including two Mars probes lost, shuttle delays, discarded ISS tanks, and a Hubble repair rush. He noted 146 payloads since 1992 with 10 failures totaling about a billion dollars.

Alliance seeks safer guns through preferred procurement
A coalition of 28 cities and groups plans to favor gun makers who follow the Smith & Wesson safety code, urging governments to buy from responsible manufacturers to reduce crime. Cuomo backed the effort, noting 20 to 30 percent of the U.S. market is purchasing by law enforcement and cities. Campbell of Atlanta said city purchases total about a million dollars annually, and broader city buying could press makers to comply or risk shutdown. Meanwhile Smith & Wesson pledged gun locks and smart technology, while Hatch urged blocking federal lawsuits against gun makers and destroying background check records to protect privacy.
