Billions for bailouts, but nothing for NASA???

Congress really needs to get their priorities straight.

Manned space flight creates hundreds of productive jobs initially, and thousands after the new tech required for the programs hits the commercial market.

Instead of cutting funding for NASA, they should be going to NASA and asking them what they need, and writing a check. (A touch of hyperbole, but you get my meaning, I hope......................)

How about taking all the money from the earmarks and giving it to NASA instead?

On a side note, Ares 1's first test launch is delayed by 90 minutes for someone driving a ship into the danger area.....

I can't speak my mind about Congress........It's a family site.

But, to steal a verse from a song from the musical 1776....


I do believe you've laid a curse on North America
A curse that we now here rehearse in Philadelphia
A second flood, a simple famine
Plagues of locusts everywhere
Or a cataclysmic earthquake
I'd accept with some despair
But, no, you sent us Congress.
Good God, sir, was that fair?

Next launch attempt tomorrow morning at 8AM
