I heard on the radio this morning that NASA made a presentation to the 
Japanese Government on the proposed space station.  While the Japanese
thought it was a really great idea, they did not make any commitments
towards funding the station.  NASA had hoped that Japan would commit to 
paying 10 to 15 percent of the cost of a station.
