If theres one thing JFK was right about it was the need to explore space. Too bad he isn't around to slap some sense into todays democrats.
JFK was so sickly he could hardly stand and he had no sense to slap
And I thought that Republicans control our government.
Oh, no, that's the last thing we need. GWB proposes an ambitious resumption of the vision of Von Braun et al, and that's a torch that was borne at one time by JFK. This is yet another chip, go ahead, we dare ya, try to knock it off the prez' shoulder. The space program, if funded, will benefit the aerospace industries, and there are such companies in places like, oh, I don't know, California, Washington, Massachusetts, even Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and New York.
