Text:        The House of Representatives was holding budget hearings last 
week, and among the areas considered was the science and technology funding.  
So the fate of the X-30 (also often referred to as NASP, for National 
Aerospace Plane) will be updated in the near future (the Senate and House must 
come to agreement on the various findings).  I consulted an online Reader's 
Guide, and the magazine with the most articles on the space plane was 
"Aviation Weekly and Space Technology", so that is probably a good place to 
get current information.
