You know, I'd rather have a tax cut.

Hi EggsAckley... Only 62 here and Hazy.

This is a fantasy. Not nearly enough money. This will be DOA in congress.

[NormsRevenge]

Bush will urge Congress to approve development of a new capsule-type spacecraft, called a crew exploration vehicle, capable of performing a variety of missions, including trips to the moon and the International Space Station (news - web sites), officials said.

But think of all the jobs that could be created and such. We have a few tax cuts still in the pipeline. Altho I wish the Capital Gains and Estate taxes were extinct too.

We should have never left space when we did anyway, imo. The Moon should already have manned outposts.

Here is an artists rendition of the spacecraft Bush has envisioned:

And he will populate the ship with BushBots:

CONSERVATISM IS IRRELEVANT. THE CONSTITUTION IS IRRELEVANT. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED INTO THE DUBYA.

DOA in ConGre$$ .. mmmmm.. I don't know. Depends how much it entails.

If there is pork, they will come.

The Crewed Exploration Vehicle - a speculation

This is a fantasy. Not nearly enough money. This will be DOA in congress.

Unless, of course, certain influential congressmen are likely to gain federal programs for their districts...

[snopercod]

Stop. You're giving me a bad attitude about this administration.

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

I thought we were going to be assimilated by these under the new Bushico plan.

Hmmm...the series, "FIREFLY"?

[hopespringseternal]

To launch the new spacecraft, the United States may have to rely on giant Russian Soyuz or French Ariane rockets.

NASA is the epitome of pathetic.

[PropheticZero]

bah..they probably stole the designs from us in the first place :)

Seven degrees below zero here.

Have a lovely evening, and don't miss your tee time tomorrow.
