The space station, estimated by some to cost $94 billion before it's finished, is ``the money pit of all government money pits,'' retired NASA engineer Don Nelson says in his new book, ``NASA New Millennium Problems and Solutions.''

``It is not being driven by a need for advancements in space or science,'' Nelson writes. ``Its momentum is based on the gluttonous appetite of a government jobs program.''
