Yes, but I though you were pro-Obama? Converted?

I don't trust Obama, 6 months ago he was ready to slash their budget to
paper rockets.

NASA is one of the best science investments the US ever made. Inspired
many into science and technology including myself. Spun off technology
in all sorts of sciences, including the rock we live on.

Sure beats spending it on war. In fact if you took the middle east
moneys since 911, NASA could be funded to etternity on the interest.
And you do alot better than dead soldiers.

I still remember John Glenns lift off on a B&W TV.
