OK. That headline just sounds so stupid!

[NormsRevenge]

Carly Fiorina ... LMAO (What the hell does she know about space exploration?)

"President Bush names 8 moon advisers

Howard Dean moons his advisers.

[Loyal Buckeye]

Wonder if he considered old Moonbeam, Jerry Brown and Beam Me Up, Jim Trafficnt.

[Lokibob]

Somehow, Michael Jackson and Moon sounds obscene.

Presidential Commission on the Implementation of United States Space Exploration Policy

PCIUSSEP

Catchy name. They will concentrate on moon goals, permanent presence being a given, and consider other possible destinations for our space explorers. Rubber stamp commission?

[FreedomCalls]

-Michael P. Jackson of Virginia.

Huh?

[NormsRevenge]

fyi Ping

[Rebelbase]

I went to school with a kid named Moon.

[Brett66]

Paul Spudis, excellent!

[NYC GOP Chick]

These would have been Blubba's "moon advisers":

[Kirkwood]

Michael Jackson - because he's an expert in moon-walking??

[NewRomeTacitus]

Advisors Barbra Streisand, Tim Robins, Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, Janeane Garafolo, Ramsey Clarke, Al Franken and Peter Jennings can start sending their reports from the moon as soon as possible.

Seriously, bonesmccoy is right. This wreaks of another PR job. No matter what party they're from they all want to emulate JFK's space initiative.

[Quix]

Maybe it's getting late.

But I'm glad I read it again and saw that it wasn't advisors mooning him!

[Charles Henrickson]

President Bush on Friday named the eight people from academia and industry who will join former Air Force Secretary Pete Aldridge on a commission charged with figuring out how to get humans back to the moon and beyond.

Great, just what America needs to do, throw billions more away on some Star Trek fantasy / welfare for rocket scientists.

To bad President Bush doesn't form a commission to figure out how to generate and keep good jobs in the USA.

I guess you can judge a man by his priorities, eh?
