NASA announced that on June 13 Pioneer 10 would celebrate the tenth anniversary of becoming the first spacecraft to explore beyond the orbit of Pluto, the most distant solar system planet as yet discovered. (NASA Release 93-110; W Times, June 12/93)
Sky and Telescope magazine sponsored a contest to choose a more accurate name than "big bang" to describe the creation of the universe. (NY Times, June 11/93; AP, June 11/93; LA Times, June 11/93; W Post, June 16/93)
The Los Angeles Times reported that congressional supporters of the pro-posed Space Station were warning that the project would face serious trouble if President Clinton supported a radical, low-cost design. Supporters of the Station made it clear that they supported the most elaborate and expensive of the three redesigns developed by NASA. This design, which would cost $13.3 billion over the next five years, would cut more than $4 billion from the cost of the Station, yet it would keep most of the Station's capabilities and make use of much of the work that NASA had done on the project over the last nine years.
