Maybe the "Vision for Space Exploration" is affecting the more important researches and experiments being held under NASA's wing.

Because of the budget cuts, researches initially being funded by NASA are being terminated in favor of the new space shuttles, new moon explorations and for the International Space Station.

Experiments like finding out the role of gravity in plant growth by biologist Roger Hangarter from the Indiana University have been canned. Other "life science" experiments that were supposed to be on-board the space shuttles were terminated.

The race for space has begun again, and NASA is doing everything to respond to this "Vision for Space Exploration" even if it means there isn't going to be enough funding for the rest of NASA's projects.
