Bush wants Mars

Well, I was trying to stop at message 1000, but her comes 1001 (I think).

Shoot, you discovered my agenda. Anyone want to guess if Cheney was busy buying up property before Bush made his announcement?

It really wouldn't surprise me, if Halliburton somehow had it's fingers in the space program (Kellog, Brown, and Root?). And I must wonder about what the corporate overlap would be, between those profitting via the gulf war pork barrel trough, and the Space exploration trough.I think we got better things to spend our resources on, than expensive dubious cost to benefit projects that are working the fringes of science. Be it the space station (seemingly designed by Rube Goldberg) or the killed super-collider project.Sun Ra said "Space is the place". Sun Ra also claimed to have been born on Saturn, and to have written over a billion tunes.Mooseps: note I recently put up a new political commentary avatar.

I heard on the TV news the other night, that the new space initiative would mean less support for the Hubble telescope project. They seem to think that it's time to let it crash and burn.Might you not be getting a lot more "bang for your buck", out of the Hubble, vs sending men to Mars?Basicly, I can't help but be suspicious of anything the Bush adminstration is for (and be for anything they are against?).Moose
