NASA has announced that a test launch of their Orion space capsule will take place on Thursday, in the first step of a mission that will take people to Mars by mid-2030.
That was a one day throw away campaign promise by George H.W. Bush ... we weren't supposed to ACT on it!
Next I'll find out about W's hydrogen fuel cell cars taking over.

Actually it was far more than a campaign promise ... There were lots of hearings and planning within NASA. It died because the Dems would not fund it.
