Interesting, isn't it the presidents job to do this?

Ping. Because noone will see it if it's not posted in News/Activism. ;)

As we learned in July, 1989, the simple declaration of exploration goals is not sufficient to ensure that they are pursued -- Bush-41 announced a "Moon-Mars Initiative" on the steps of the National Air and Space Museum, but it went nowhere. Congress refused to fund it two years in a row and the "Office of Exploration" (yes, it did exist between 1991 and 1994 -- largely in the form described in this article) went quietly into that good night.

Cynically viewed, this is a desperate effort on Lampson's part to preserve as much of the JSC infrastructure as possible (most of JSC is in Texas-9; part of the surround area is in Tom Delay's (Texas-22) district.) Unless the administration signs on to this, it will go nowhere.

I like rockets as much as the next guy, but........

I really don't see the need to keep wasting money on the useless "space program".

You can't even buy "space food sticks" anymore, and I hate "Tang"
