By making such an abrupt budget change, NASA will mothball or abandon half-built (in some cases, fully built) hardware, lose expertise developed at great effort, and leave gaps in data coverage, notably of the earth's climate.

这种突然的预算变更，将迫使NASA封存或放弃建造一半（在某些状况下是已完全造好了）的硬体设备，丢掉耗尽心力所开发出来的技术智能，并造成采集数据难以弥补的缺口，特别是在地球气候的观测计画上。
