Older reviews criticized failures to directly link a plan's science goals to proposed missions, while the 2006 review applauded "a defensible set of rules for prioritizing missions" based on the decadal surveys' priorities. INTERDISCIPLINARY ASPECTS AND SCIENTIFIC BALANCE Previous NRC reviews of NASA Science Plans found good overall scientific balance (though 2003 and 2006 criticized an overemphasis on life detection)
