...to the moon by 2020 and eventually send them to Mars.

For too long we've turned inward in re to space. Empires die from within(Roman, Spanish, British, USSR, etc)and if you're not expanding, you're contracting...and fading into the history books. The universe is a very big place, room enough for ANYTHING, why such timidity in space exploration since the salad days of the 60's? Thus the new boss of NASA sees what needs to be done, and is DOING it! And if you're trapped in liberal seattle, your comments on gregoire's being allowed to remain gov? W=P

Two words sum up what will cure all of the ills at NASA:

Private Enterprize.

It's high time that the Gubmint got out of the space business, and turned it over to someone like Burt Rutan to make it really do what it was intended to do.

[longshadow]

Seen this?

Progress, or rearranging the deck chairs on the Columbia?
