That was my text. She still hasn't figured out how to use a news
reader.

scaled back. They're getting an increase in funding, plus additional jobs.

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

Now he's saying that they'll get some money and it will create some
jobs, but all sources are saying that it will be a net job loss of
over 5000. Hey, it's expensive to buy your way aboard Russian
rockets. Outsourcing this is a bad idea.

But Obama is good at bad ideas.

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

I remember touring the Space Center when I was a kid, and going into
the VAB back when they'd still let you do that. Wow. Now you just
ride by it on the road as they point it out. Better see it while you
can... soon it will be nothing but rubble. I guess we can lease it to
the Russians.
