Funny, I watched the SOTU and I've read a lot about it afterwards and the consensus and facts say Bush never even mentioned the space program.

Yes, the author of this article is a blithering idiot. Opponents of space exploration usually are.

Yep, I just went back and read the entire transcript of the SOTU and there was NO MENTION of NASA, the moon or Mars.

So the writer of this article starts out with a bald faced lie. Typical of idiots.

Never confuse a RAT with facts; you're distorting their reality and might be giving them ammo.

For example, I read the first couple lines of the story, the statement that this was proposed in the SOTU address, and then dismissed anything else the author might have been trying to say. If they base their article on an invention of fantasy, I have to assume everything else that follows will be also an invention of fantasy.
