Hopefully they will work the bugs out of the recovery parachutes.

Let’s see if we can get the Germans to run it. They ran NASA before and did a good job.

I bet for $5 billion: Burt Rutan and the Germans could do far more than NASA.

Taxi drivers and freight haulers to government facilities under government contract.

If Obama really wanted to do something good he could have renounced our involvement in the outer space treaty and turned private industry loose AND partnered them with NASA.

This is one of those things of the sort Jimmy Carter pulled. Cutting back on things that maybe didn't matter to John Q. Public on any given day of the week, but, taken together, accumulated into a pervasive feeling that things were not going right at all.

Of course, Obama has set that situation up in spades already with other acts too numerous and stupid to recount.

It all goes to the creation of a "critical mass," a "social population inversion," that makes it possible for an opponent to come in in 2012 with a promise to sweep it all away and put things back on track. Reagan did it. Maybe, between Palin, Scott Brown, and perhaps someone yet to emerge, we'll see it again.
