And even if the total funding level for the unmanned space program remains stable -- and even if Congress doesn't decide (as it well may do) to pay for increased spending on climate-research satellites and aeronautics by pulling money out of the rest of the unmanned space-science program ... more Intel To Build Multi Billion-Dollar China Chip Plant
