A symbolic increase, but a good start.

[rintense]

Um, maybe I missed something, but FNC reported all day yesterday that the Columnia shuttle went through a year of upgrades last year. Can anyone confirm that?

[GermanBabies]

If a new shuttle is build how much safer will it be? Any data on this?

[joesnuffy]

Just got hit with another whopping property tax increase too...
Thanks a lot conservatives

Stealing more of my money to toss at another failed project, without analyzing why it happened.

I expect that of liberals, of course, I should probably expect it of the pubbies also.

What is the cost of a Space Shuttle?

Space Shuttle Endeavour, the replacement orbiter for Space Shuttle Challenger , cost approximately $2.1 billion.

[Mr. Jeeves]

"Although that delay and those upgrades, I don't think, has any connection with yesterday's tragedy..."

"...it gets me a headline if I imply that it did, anyway."

Go ahead and spend the money Mr. President, after you tell us what programs you're going to cut to pay for the increase.

If only there was a political party in this country which represented me.

And where is this money supposed to come from?
Oh yeah, the same place as the rest of it, thin air.
(it can't come out of our pocket 'cause, like Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard, our pockets are bare)
