I stated before the election that if I were a 1 issue voter the fact Bush was going to bring alive NASA and S.E. he would have gotten my vote. It is nice to see he didn't lie about this.
Let us not forget it was JFK that truly got NASA started. Carter who helped, Reagan did a little (using NASA to develop "Star Wars") and then it was cut and left to die.
To be honest there is a lot to gain with a true NASA that develops and creates new tech. If Nasa spends R and D money on US companies, we could see a nice bump to the economy.
However, if we do not improve our schools we may not have the educated people from the US running NASA.
I have no problem with this as long as the true purpose is SE and not military.
And if cuts are truly needed let's cut the military payouts to Halliburton who overcharges for gas, takes money and then doesn't supply trrops with the items we paid for. That's the true crime, a NASA SE budget used for true SE and that's it, is a good thing, best thing Bush has done yet, maybe the only thing he'll ever do that has the potential to better us.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
