Mars Mission possibly canceled

NASA budget for the next  year is likely to include deep cuts to planetary science programs, forcing the space agency to withdraw altogether from an international effort to send two new missions to Mars experts say. Barack Obama  is going to submit his administrations federal budget request for the  year 2013 on Monday.  The amount of money given to NASA is unkown. The cuts will probably make NASA go out of the european space agency led exomars missions which aim to launch an orbiter and a drilltoting rover to Mars in 2016 and 2018. The cuts will most likely be on some robots that will be sending to mars.
