The closing of the space shuttle program has scientists, engineers and astronauts knocking on Governor Charlie Crist’s door for help. It was Space Day at the state capitol today.

NASA administrators used the opportunity to meet with Crist to discuss funding issues, after cuts in federal funding were handed down.

“I think the space program is so critical to Florida and America. We’re recommended in our budget over 32 million dollars to help the space program. We have over 7-thousand high tech, some of the best and the brightest people in our country that work on the space program. We are committed to doing every thing we can to help them,” said Crist.

In his State of the State address last night, Crist called the decision to end the space program a bad one.
