Fishing for funding...this is an old method of getting funding for something that "appears" to be in dire straits. You make out as if the thing you want funding is in danger of being cut completely, make as much noise about it as you can and then put a possible deadline on the project. Works especially well when there's some competition about, like China's space program...and then you throw in the old bogey man,"They're going to get there first. We can't allow that!!!".
Hopefully, Congress listens and then doles out the funding needed.
